Question for Northern Trappers
« on: February 19, 2007, 01:27:58 AM »
 When you are Trap'n UNDER ice. Arent you afrade that you wont be able to hind the hole that you make ,to get under the ice,again ? It must be kind'a dark under the ice. Do you use a flash light? Guess it has to be water proff too.

Newty  its no problemo finding hole even while under ice as it looks like a flashlite shining down thru the ice from above and  easy to locate.    If one has problem finding hole he  or she used originally  one just has to walk over to a bvr run and fall thru the thin ice and your under again with no problems.   See how simple it is Newty?  Why  i guess thats why  people like Boggy can  trap up  here in der nort  becuase we dont make such problems out of thangs as you sudern twappers!!

Why Newty sorry  bout your icefishing boat experience but you should try turtling  with ice!  All you have to do is walk around on pond and look thru the clear ice and the turtles are all at the shorline under ice.  You can pick the ones you want IF THE SEASON was open but its not LOL.   You should see the big snappers  in the ponds. I catch alot of  snappers in  330s set in bvr lodge runways.. one time i caught the same one three times ( i marked him or her)  I then took turtle to another ponds ...LOL...

Newt
Old RdFx is trying to spoof ya into passing over. I've probably spent more time under the ice than anyone on this site. In fact the boy and I plan to be under the ice this coming Saturday.
Take it from me don't go into the light!
Following your bubble trail can work or laying out a trail of popcorn shrimp can work sometimes to. If there is a lot of timber try the little bright eye reflectors on your back trail.
But trust me on this one the hole in the ice from below will appear as a dark spot.
So again I state don't go into the light!!!! LOL!
Go to the dark side----I mean spot. :-)

Yea Newty Mac  should know and  he always wears a scuba outfit when he goes below ice , at least when he plans for it....  Nothing like being able to breathe when looking up for a way out!!
