Have yah seen this commerical ..

Excellent !!

Nice

Never showed if he got the fish. LOL

^^Your Vote can get things done.^^

How did you post that

Found it on you tube

I was in MS over xmas and my son in law thought it was fake, Nobody fishes like that he said.

I had to educate him on icefishing.

They're called tipups and yes they are real. And they do catch fish.

Being from the south and never icefished he had no clue.

He'd be arrested here.

Why is that?

?

^^^

Wow

wooosh!!!!

Cant be more than 60 meters from your tipup\holes.

Got to be in sight here.

Correction,its 60 mtrs.

Don't some of you guys leave them overnight?

It's stupid. Makes him look like a booshdag. Should've consulted someone who knew what he was doing and used a Beaver Dam tipup and had a bucket of shiners.

A Canuck would drive out on the ice and use the intermittent wipers to jig.When the wiper slaps the windshield,you wake up and haul up the fish.

In WI there would be a fine for unattended fish line.
Seen that several times and there must not be much or any negative feedback regarding the issue.

In wi it would not be a fine for unattended lines

Yeah he's sitting on shore with bones and reacts right away when the flag goes up. A lot better than the waterfront landowners that set flags then go sit in their cabin, or walleye guys that set flags at night then sit in their shacks and drink for hours between flag checks.

I'm surprised he even got a bite using a single wax worm on a treble hook.

I know right!

Hand auger made me laugh.

No bait allowed on a treble hook...here in NH....single hook with bait is OK.

I own and love my Beaver Dam Traps.....but they are useless in snow conditions (way too short) and cant see the flag.

What's snow?

Seriously, we've used extensions on the flags before. Length of wire cable tied to the flag rod with a florescent orange styrofoam ball pierced at the end. Works.

Either way, we don't have meters down here, and its a more free country to ice fish how we want.
My problem in Virginia is, we don't hardly ever get any ice, so my tip-ups end up on the bottom of the lake as soon as I drop them overboard...

Attach pool noodles to both sides

I have traps for deep snow.....no need to booger rig

Only way to ice fish....lol

Thats An Awesome Shot Ness

I always figured them fish will be there next spring you can have that ice fishing always something to trap/hunt here.

'cept that ain't no Beaver Dam

^^^^^^^^ that is a “Jack Trap” from Monmouth Maine....big 4 inch reel ....for deep water ,Lakers.

Muskrat.....got them too...love em

Sissy fishin

I always thought sissy fishin was trolling

X2

Ah, I am educated. Haven't set a Beaver Dam over any thing deeper than 30 feet.

son in Minot is tearin em up in Clear Lake

Trolling is active, so nope.

So why do so many of yall come here to fish??

When the last prairie dog dies I will go fishing then.

i dont really care how they get to the skillet so long as they are properly prepared and cooked

all this discussion over a TV commercial

its never that easy at t-man.

Do you even have any lakes with 100 feet of water ...in Wisconsin?

Do they even get enough ice in Ohio...to set a tip up ? Iam thinking not.

My first impression of the commercial, was, that actors movies are so terrible he now has to resort to car commercials.

Big Green Lake

Lake superior.
Is that a trick question Nessy?

Lol.....not counting those Great Lakes

Boco Any one up your way use frozen smelt for lake trout. We use to rig up a system with a clothes hanger. Shaped into a square then bring the wire down to act as a lock for the line. Use the hanger end to hang the rig over the hole with a tree branch. I think we called them a Mouse trap. Tied flagging on the line to see when it got tripped flag would disappear. Been a long time since I did that. But worked for lake trout and northern pike. Cheap and easy.

Matthew is a born and bred TEXAN!!

He doesn't know crap about ice fishing...

He and his brother Rooster own several ranches together, one is about 50 miles from me....

He is a TEXAN through and through...

And a very nice gentleman, and yes, I have met him on several occasions..

Yea stinky,frozen smelts is used a lot for ice fishing pike and lakers.I seen that set up with the coat hanger before,we just use a willow whip with a bit of flagging tape on the end stuck in some slush.When it starts flapping just go pull in the fish.
Guys in town like to go out ice fishing the lake trout in April.

Not this year. Lake Erie has no ice on it. In the past we would drive our trucks out 3-4 miles on the ice. Last weekend there were boats on the Lake fishing.

Thanks Boco. I lived in Ely Mn for 3yrs. That is where I was taught that setup. Light weight packing in to lakes on foot was the reason for using it.
