Chrisb Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Just curious how many use a GPS for ice fishing? I have a hand held unit and few times I have ice fished recently I used it. Do soft water fishing spots relate to hard water spots or does the fishery completely change when the water freezes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooksy Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I rely on my hand held big time for hard water. I often make a way point on spots where I'm catching good numbers or big fish. It's also nice because if I find a nice hump, timber pile, rock pile, any other structure in the soft water season, I can mark it and check it out during ice season. Good Fishing!

marktheperchman Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 call me old school but i fish mainly for perch and from my limited knowledge i know they tend to move around. there are some spots like the canal where i just go to the same places that have produced in the past but in the lake i pretty much just go by my usual sightlines and if i dont catch i just move.sometimes we tend to rely too much on technology.

marth11 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 sine I don't drive the only spots I fish are local through ice, so I don't use Global Positioning System, since once again, I know most of the spots where the fish are, If I find an area which I caught fish, I just remember a certain landmark and than off to the races.

Chrisb Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Have you ever been out when a fog rolls in. It helps to know which way is home. At least bring a compass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I have been thinking about getting a hand held Gps for fishing. Something i could use on the water from my boat or on hard water. I want to use it for marking certain drops and piles. But also i do a lot of hiking so i would like to use it for this to. Is there a certain hand held gps you guys could recommend for something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
