Starting to get the itch to get on the ice. I'm hoping this cold weather gangs around for a while.

I will wait till safe ice. Not worth the risk of falling thru .kyle31490 said:I'll be on ice within a day or 2.
I'll also go on muuuuuch thinner ice than most will.
Shuey...be sure to post-up when good ice is on RV. I'm on IS but those guys are a lil guarded in postin-up ice conditions! lolshuey 270 said:I live close to Rose Valley and it's froze all the way. Not safe yet.
I have a Vexilar FL-20 and wouldn't jig for panfish without it. Great asset.patmack said:any of you guys use sonar units for ice fishing.
My main sonar is a Vexilar LPS-1 handheld portable (below) which is outstanding for finding optimum depths to drill etc. I use a Eagle Cuda 300 which I adapted to ice application with ice fishing transducer which I use on lakes where I need to see fish. If I could only own one sonar it would be the Vexilar LPS-1 hands down since finding optimal depths, ledges etc is what I concentrate on.beagler said:I have a Vexilar FL-20 and wouldn't jig for panfish without it.

Yeah...whut i thought too per use of maps for years. My thoughts were quickly changed. LX1 gives the precision you need in accurately locating current ledges, structure etc when drilling an 8" hole. Far more accurate/reliable than maps. Guess it all depend's on ones own expectations just as anything else..SuperX2Nut said:Seems like a lot of money to spend on something that a lake contour map could tell you.
