Get with the program Newt. We use a chain saw no reason to be chopping holes.

Trolling is when you walk to the edge of the ice where it meets the open water, you extend you rod out over the ice into the open water and walk back and forth.

Just make the holes big enough for your net. that isn't that big my uncle used to run gill nets under the ice cut a hole and put the Jigger through the hole , this was like a kids sled with runners and floats that was brightly colored and had a cam on it pull on the line and it pulled the cam then let go and let it propelled it's self along under the ice sort of like one of those kids toy cars that you pull back then let go and it runs forward under spring pressure , when your about to run out of cord your partner who has been following the brightly colored sled under the ice cuts a hole for it to come out , then the net is pulled through under the ice with the line from hole to hole. when the ice was to ruff to use that they cut a hole every so many feet and pushed boards nailed together under the ice with a line till they got to the next hole they had a bottomless fish house that they pulled with an old snowmobile they could pull the net from in the house then pull the line from the far end and set it again under the ice

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Would trolling be easier, with one of those two man submarines. Ya would want to keep an eye on your ice hole, so it doesn't freeze shut. You could even dress up your vessel to look like a fish!
If your mind draws a blank, turn off the sound, because ya can't learn a thing if you're doin all the talkin

That would be illegal here in MN. Yellow is the only state authorized color for fishing submarines within state boundaries. Osky

Is it worht it ? I always wondered about people who would go out in an artic gale, beat a hole thru 2' of ice to catch 6" yellow perch. And claim to have fun.
Never argue with a fool - they will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Osky My interpretation of the law was that the submarine only had to be yellow, if it was used as a habitation, by multiple, unrelated individuals, in green tinted water. Keith

biggest mistake most newbies make is not cutting the hole big enough to get the boat backed off the trailer.

Your right KeithC, but the state does limit the yellow submarines here to 4 inhabitants. You can join the inhabitants but can't take up residence.
