I think i know what your talking about elwood.

When i usally go out, i am in a portable fish house. But i understand what your talking about

When I take a trip up to Cass Lake, or to Winne or Alex, we are up there for 5-10 days. When i have my house there, i dont move it alot. It will sit on the same hole for 2-3 days, maybe even the whole time. When i am in this situation, i will reel my decoys up to the point that i have my fake decoy out of the water, but my live decoy in about 2 feet. Where its still not below the ice. This way when the live decoy is swimming at night. The hole will not freeze over becuase the live decoy will keep the hole open. So when you go out in the morning, you will not have to cut the hole open again, or chizzel that baby open. Hope this information help, and if you have any other questions, just ask.

Good Fishing

one other quick question being that bullheads are leagle bait have you guys tried these I use then for catfish and was thnking that they might work as a decoy. A dnr bioligst told me that pike and muskeys eat bullies in the spring and summer so the thought was their.

BNS I would probly save some from catfishing next year or check with my bait dealer to get some I know that they are tough to catch in the winter but on the lake I spear a lot of guys are catching big bullies thur the ice and I know that cause they leave them on the ice. I hate that.

My friend and I keep the decoy minnows in a 5 gallon pail also. The pail has a lid with some holes punched in it to allow the water to come in. You put the decoy minnows and whatever other minnows in the pail, put the lid on and sink it down the hole. There is a rope tied to the handle that hangs on a hook just above the floor. You hang the rope on the hook and let the pail hang down the spear hole. The decoys are protected, kept fresh, and if the game warden should show up there is no question about what we are doing. Works good for us.

    • Luxury RV camping has become increasingly popular in recent years as people look for ways to enjoy the great outdoors while still enjoying the comforts of home. With the right equipment and preparation, luxury RV camping can be a truly unforgettable experience. In this essay, we will provide you with the ultimate guide to luxury RV camping, including tips on choosing the right RV, selecting the best campsite, and packing for your trip.   The first step to planning a luxury RV camping trip is to choose the right RV. There are a variety of different types of RVs available, ranging from small and compact trailers to large and luxurious motorhomes. The right RV for you will depend on your budget, your travel plans, and your personal preferences.   One popular option for luxury RV camping is a Class A motorhome. These motorhomes are typically the largest and most luxurious RVs available, with spacious interiors, full kitchens, and even multiple bathrooms. They often come equipped with high-end features such as leather upholstery, flat-screen televisions, and high-quality audio systems. Class A motorhomes are also the most expensive type of RV, but they offer the ultimate in comfort and luxury.   Another popular option for luxury RV camping is a fifth wheel trailer. These trailers are typically larger than travel trailers and are designed to be towed by a pickup truck. They offer many of the same amenities as Class A motorhomes, including full kitchens, multiple bathrooms, and high-end features such as surround sound systems and flat-screen televisions. Fifth wheel trailers are often less expensive than Class A motorhomes but still offer a high level of comfort and luxury.   Once you have chosen the right RV for your luxury camping trip, the next step is to select the perfect campsite. There are a variety of different types of campsites available, ranging from basic, no-frills campsites to high-end RV resorts with all the amenities. When selecting a campsite, it is important to consider your budget, your travel plans, and your personal preferences.   If you are looking for a truly luxurious camping experience, consider staying at an RV resort. These resorts often offer a wide range of amenities, including swimming pools, hot tubs, fitness centers, and even golf courses. They also typically offer high-end services such as concierge service, valet parking, and room service. RV resorts can be expensive, but they offer the ultimate in luxury and comfort.   If you are looking for a more affordable camping experience, consider staying at a state or national park. These parks offer a variety of different campsites, ranging from basic tent sites to RV sites with electrical and water hookups. While state and national parks may not offer the same level of luxury as RV resorts, they do offer the opportunity to experience the natural beauty of the outdoors.     Once you have chosen the perfect RV and campsite, the final step is to pack for your luxury camping trip. When packing for a luxury RV camping trip, it is important to focus on comfort and convenience. Pack clothing that is appropriate for the weather and activities you have planned, as well as comfortable shoes for hiking and exploring.   In addition to clothing, it is important to pack all the essentials you will need for your trip. This includes bedding, towels, toiletries, and any medications or other personal items you may need. It is also important to pack food and drinks, as well as any cooking supplies you will need for meals. If you are camping in the cold weather, bring the Ocoopa Union 5s rechargeable hand warmers are easy to use for camping. First, charge it, then turn it on, and finally, place it in your gloves or pockets. Additionally, the rechargeable hand warmer has 4 heat settings, allowing you to adjust the temperature to various weather conditions. With a large 10000mAh battery, it can provide up to 15 hours of heat and could use as a power bank, making it an ideal hand warmer for extended outdoor activities.   Finally, when packing for your luxury RV camping trip, don’t forget to pack entertainment options such as books, movies, and games. While luxury camping offers many opportunities for relaxation and outdoor activities, it is also important to have options for downtime and relaxation.
