    Grill set ups

    Yeah you should be able to let the bottle hang, just make sure your connections are tight. I bought an 11 pound Manchester tank for ice fishing and love it. It’s the same diameter as a 20 pound tank so it doesn’t tip over like other smaller diameter tanks. The only drawback is that is 2X the price of a 20 pound tank. I ordered it online through Ace Hardware and had it shipped to our local store. ($60).

    Most major retailers have them now, which is nice to see. They are a little cheaper on Walmart’s website with free shipping to store. Dick’s Sports also puts them on sale a couple times a year.

    Congrats!:yes: Glad also to see that he is still at it gives encouragement to us old timers :lol:

    Yeah this was the very first year that he actually felt nervous about going out.  It's kind of a tough area where we fish.  We drive out 4 miles or more to the shipping channel...in the dark...in a snowstorm, etc.  Very easy to get turned around. I grew up ice fishing and fishing in remote Canada. My Dad seems to have the ice fishing locked in.  I take him trolling in the summer.

    Great to see and hear!!! Lake!! Congrats to your dad!! And yourself for being out there with him!!  PAP.

    Thanks PAP.  I actually wasn't there with him (though I should have been).  It didn't work out with my schedule this year.  My nephew and his semi-professional fishing buddies took care of him.

    That's sweet, I used to fish Munoscong Bay in college. I went to Lake superior state. I miss that area, some great perch and walleye fishing.

    Small world.  I am an engineering professor at Lake State. Yeah, we have one of the best fisheries in the mid-west.....at least I think so.  You can catch almost every species in a 50 mile radius and we have access to Superior, Huron, Michigan and several inland lakes and streams.

    My Dad (79) won 2nd place in our local ice fishing walleye tournament on Munoscong Bay, on the St Mary’s river system between Lake Huron and Lake Superior. 7.23 pounds, which is fairly small this year. Caught it on a white jack spoon with a minnow head, 35 FOW. Usually a 7 pound fish would be closer to 8th place. He won an Ion X electric auger. Two weeks ago he bought a regular Ion and sold two of his gas augers. Lol. IMG_7657.thumb.PNG.2e8a689fb8d834021dfa20510fdff80c.PNG

    Headache from propane

    in Ice fishing

    Posted

    Some people are more sensitive to Propane than others. I read where it is like 1 out of 50 get headaches. I have a buddy and a big buddy and they don’t bother me. I also have a Nuway propane furnace that does bother me, but I need to install a chimney pipe for it. You can also buy a battery operated CO detector, though I haven’t tried one in a fish shack. Hopefully the Buddy heater will solve your problem. I believe they burn more efficient than other radiant heaters.

    What kind of net ?

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    I had the same issue. I didn’t want to buy a new net, so I ordered a ProMar hook resist replacement net and mounted it on my existing frame. I should have done that years ago. I don’t think I paid more than $30 for the replacement net. Purchased it on EBay. Other sites have them too. I don’t remember what size I bought, but you have to measure your net. It’s rubber coated but not as heavy as a solid rubber net. Does not tangle anymore.
