Thorne Bros Ice Fishing Seminar Schedule 2007


Recommended Posts

Thorne Bros Ice Fishing Seminars--Wednesday Nights At 7pm

As most of you know, our winter seminars are usually all about muskie fishing. This winter we will be branching out a little more. This December and January we will be having 3 in-house seminars on ice fishing. All of the seminars will be held on Wednesday nights starting at 7pm. The presenters will be Thorne Bros Pro-Staffers Matt Johnson and Pat Smith. The seminars are free, so come and learn about the newest techniques and products from these industry insiders! Special ‘after-seminar’ discounts will also be available on in-stock products.

December 13--Plastics Under The Ice--plastics are really coming into their hay day but are far too underutilized by most people. We will cover everything from tiny finesse baits to big attractor baits for panfish, perch, bass, walleyes, northern pike and lake trout.

January 3--Panfish: Finesse and Aggressive Techniques--we've all been on the water when the fishing has been slow. Sometimes going into 'stealth mode' is what it takes, but other times 'totally obnoxious' works better to trigger a hit. How about when the fish are really going, will finesse or aggressive tactics take the bigger fish? We'll cover it all on this night.

January 17--Multi-Species Tactics: How To Catch Those 'Other' Species--everyone likes to catch panfish, perch and walleyes, but have you tried to target anything else? Ciscos, whitefish, smallmouth and largemouth bass, white bass, catfish, eelpout and more will all fall to ice angling tactics and often fight much better than the 'traditional' fish. We'll also go over how to jig for pike.

Our summer seminars will start on January 24 and will be posted our message board at www.thornebros.com as soon as the schedule finished. Bring a pen/paper and your questions and we'll see you here on Wednesday nights this winter.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
