Replying to @Fett Here’s the answer you were looking for 🧊 👇🏻 By pulling the ice blocks out and replacing them back in the hole, it ensures the ice will freeze up the fastest after we leave for the day. Leaving the ice block on top of the ice can be dangerous for snowmobiles. Especially after a light dusting of snow. And, another reason we pull the ice blocks out is because it can cause incoming fish to be leafy of the hole and spook easier. But no matter what method you choose, always mark your location with a giant stick at the end of the day. #fishing #icefishing #minnesota
45 degrees out and sunny when this happened… The metal stakes that were holding our house down conducted enough heat to melt the ice around them which resulted in all but one stake to rip out when this gust of wind hit. Luckily one single stake managed to hold everything down or else this house would’ve blown across the lake. #fishing #icefishing #minnesota
Stopped by an officer while ice fishing. It was -20 degrees out with wind chill around -40, so props to this officer for putting in the tough work; I was the only person out on this remote lake. #icefishing #fishing #minnesota
Here’s a few messages from the past month. Who knew spearfishing was so controversial? 🤷🏻♂️ Which side are you on? #icefishing #fishing #pikefishing #spearfishing #minnesota
Here’s the answer you’ve been looking for 👇🏻 Why do I pull these giant blocks of ice out instead of pushing them under.? Well, there’s several reasons. With the main one being safety. By pulling the ice blocks out and replacing them back in the hole, it ensures the ice will freeze up much faster after we leave for the day. Leaving the ice block on top of the ice can be dangerous for snowmobiles. Especially after a light dusting of snow where all of this will become invisible. Another option may be to push the ice blocks underneath, but this may cause incoming fish to be Leary and spook easier. It would also make replacing the blocks impossible after we leave, causing a large hole to remain in the ice. So now you know why I do it this way, and no matter what method you choose, always mark your hole with a giant stick at the end of the day. #fishing #icefishing #spearfishing #minnesota #canada
