Wouldn't mind something to put on a boat too

The north end is riddled with fresh water springs. I have been wet many times growing up. That is some dangerous water to start with. Even when it is not covered by snow you can see the dark spots on the ice.

I’m no pro at the fish finder equipment but I was looking real hard at the Garmin Stryker 4 for an affordable but fairly reliable compact fish finder. It had pretty good reviews. Any compact fish finder cheaper than that I read they’re inconsistent and somewhat unreliable.

I am not an expert by any means.  But I can say that I have caught a lot of fish thru the years on ice and never needed a fish finder.

It is frustrating sitting there glued to the screen and watching something around your bait and can't get it to take it.

At least you knew the fish were there to even make the effort. I told myself I was going to draw a line with fish finding equipment but then someone explained to me that it would save me time by not wasting time in an unproductive spot wondering if the fish were even there to begin with.

Anybody catching any of these trout? Skip to 13:40 and 31:30 if you don't want to see small fish.
