As long as it's wet

I don't think its a secret, but I'll mention it anyways....
Obviously it's alot easier to find fish when you dont have to drill a hole in every prospective spot.
As long as the ice is clear, all you need to do is pour a little water on the ice(or as I do, spit) and put your transducer to the ice. The locator will read through and tell you everything you need to know without drilling a hole. You can cover alot of ground fast this way.
This saves energy, espeacially if you're drilling holes by hand.

Everyone can have a chuckle at my expense since I was not away of this. I thought that was the big selling point of those blue hand-held models!?! I have a small Humminbird portable. I realize you guys with Vex's have no time for such silliness but, would this trick work with my transducer as well? If so I'm gonna have to chuckle at myself and the time I'VE wasted drilling holes only to run into weeds 2 ft deep!

A little attention to the surface of the ice will prevent scratching or any damage that may occur to your transducer..
I usually pick it up and set it down gently everytime I move though to prevent any "accidents"
