KG243 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Would it be possible to use this when you are anchored and jigging in the open water season??? Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott M Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Yes, if you're not drifting around too much in the breeze. I've seen flashers used on docks, over the side of boats when jigging, or through canoe hulls in boundary waters or canoe-only access lakes. If you do a search, you might find some rigging and use posts on the subject of open water use of ice flashers. I remember someone jimmy-rigged a swing out arm to accomodate for the long summer rods used for jigging.Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyice Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 They work fine in open water conditions. I have used my flasher numerous times in a boat before I got a portable unit for the boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Reisewitz Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 i've used my marcum all sesaon in the canoe and it will work just like on the ice as long as you are under 4 mph or you would have to attach the transducer to the boat so it wont swing out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratherbefishin Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 i have used my vexlar over the side and aslo i put some water on the bottom of my boat and set thier and found that it reads the same depth, my grandpa gave me a old fishlocater (green box) on the deal to clamp to the side , must swing it up before you take off. i use this on my 14' lund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
