Ice hole protection.

I watched a show the other week where on their tip ups they had a round lid with a small tube stuck in the middle. The line was put through the tube and into the water. The poured something into the tube to prevent the line from freezing. Something environmentally friendly.

I do not advise useing booze to kep the hole from freezing. Some years ago on Carp lake in British Columbia we poured a Litre of Crown Royal down the hole because of the -41 F temp. Well kids to make a long story short the water is very clear there you can see 22 feet down to the bottom. After 30 or so minutes the fish were so drunk they could not swim straight, when the would go for the bait they would miss by a good 6"

OK I AM JUST KIDDING HERE !

I have a great idea. Tried putting a patent on it, but it costs way too much. The idea I have I will be using in my fish house this winter, so the kids don't step in or drop stuff in the holes. It would also work on the ice without a shelter. Not sure if I can reveal it with the paper work for the patent. I will find out and let you know. Not sure how good this will work yet. Not sure if it will cause the holes to freeze up faster or not.
