The boys have the #icecastle set up down to a science. They’ve ice fished all their life. They do a great job setting up the rattle reels. It’s late season, fish are slow but just 2 weeks of game #fishing left before #walleye season closes.
#walleye season ends tonight 😞 It’s been a great season! Can’t wait for 2025 ice season. #ionauger #icefishing #fishhouse #family #traditions #hailmary #icecastle
We’ve had some bad luck today. As a standard we use 8lb line on rattle reels since we use live #bait It’s handled 99% or better of the #fish we catch, until today. We’re pulled in some nice pike on this line. We’ve either landed among some big #northernpike or tremendous #Walleye We’re 0 for 3 on landings this evening. Time to re-string some rattle reels.
Replying to @Chloe probably close to 32 inches or so. Barely any snow on the ice this year so the ice is deep. But honestly, as long as it’s over 17 inches we don’t care how thick it is.
Throwback to 2021 when our Auger stuck on in a hole! ION immediately replaced it and took the defective one to diagnose. Overall they have been very good augers for us, we’ve owned 4 of them in 8 and 10 inch. A huge improvement over the augers of my childhood which were manual to gas.
