In fact, what he normally does is drill 3,4,5 or more holes in a general area, and fish them all with in about 20 minutes. If fish don't show up (you'll see them on the screen) in a reasonable time, he’s on to the next spot. If Dave isn’t seeing fish on his FLX-28, he always begin with an aggressive jigging presentation. Dave personally uses the K-Drill Ice Auger System attached to a Clam Ice Auger Conversion Kit.Īs a modern ice angler who is searching for fish at midday, you should take a personal pledge to fish in each new hole for no more than 10 to 15 minutes, unless you are catching fish.

If the ice seldom gets thicker than a foot where you fish, a hand auger or a portable drill auger will handle anything you need to do.
Buying a gas, electric, hand or model depends on how thick the ice gets in your area. A good auger takes the work out of the process and give you more time catching fishĭrilling holes through the ice can be a very simple process. Works with a lifelike fish catching simulation to watch.ĭave compares drilling holes in the lake in the winter to making casts in a lake in the summer, the larger the area you cover the better chance of finding the right spot.

something you can't duplicate with a liquid crystal. It's a flasher that gives you instant feedback as a fish reacts to your presentation. How do you know how the fish reacted to how you were jigging, so you can try something different the next time a fish comes up to your bait? A depthfinder becomes your underwater eyes in the winter.in fact, because you're stationary, a good depthfinder makes ice fishing even more fun than open-water fishing.įor his money, the FLX-28 by Vexilar is the best sonar to get. Without sonar, how do you know when a fish comes swimming up to your bait? How do you know when to start changing things up with your presentation? In Dave’s opinion, you simply can't fish the way you have to without one. You need a good depthfinder, rigged for fishing through the ice, to get the most out of the sport. Having the right equipment will make immediate change in your “luck”, the first key to the “System”. If you really want to catch more fish this winter, gear up with the best stuff we’ve ever had available to us. But it took improvement to equipment to let us make the discoveries, no question about that. We’ve learned more in the last 40 years about what it takes to make fish bite through the ice than was ever known. You can get the right rods, reels, line, lures, shelter, auger, depthfinder, and clothes for much less than the comparable gear you need to fish during the open-water months. But to catch fish that you find by striking off on your own, in the middle of the day, you need to learn the “System”.Įven if you own no decent ice fishing equipment right now, it's amazing how small the investment is to get you better equipped. When fish are active at that magical time when the sun is hitting the trees, you will catch them if they can find your bait, no matter how crude your equipment is.
It becomes clearer to Dave every year that a lot of people hang onto their old traditions, like using their grandpa's wooden jigging stick and sitting over one hole, smack in the middle of a crowd, because at sunset they catch fish. A new ice angler coming into the sport who gets all the right tools, and learns the right approach, can pass up ice fishermen with years of experience, who haven't upgraded their equipment and way of thinking. Ice fishing success is hanging out there for anyone who wants to grab it. The "System" is the foundation for ice fishing success!!!
