Iceless ice fishing!

[Cyberfish]

While many ice anglers are chomping at the bit for cold weather to freeze things up, My short rods and ice reels are getting a workout, by gold stren ice line is getting stretched, and my flasher is lit up like a Christmas tree!

I am just sitting over 10 to 20 ft vertical jigging and getting many nice bluegills and crappies. It is a bit harder to stay vertical and read the line in my float tube in the wind, than it is on ice, but on the other hand, no hole drilling needed, so it all equaled out. Heavy metal tungsten jigs helped it from drifting out too far, and tipping with live bait caused them to hold onto the jig longer, so I had time to see the bites in the wind.

here is a video of some of the fish being caught on my ice rod from my float tube

Great setup! Thanks for the video. Looks like you had a blast. Got to use alot of your ice fishing equippment also. Who needs a boat when you have a setup like that.

Another sweet video! Well done. I was just thinking to myself I need to bring my flasher and ice rods out on my kayak and try to hit some schooling fish! Ill post a video if I have any success.
