A friend of mine was talking about a product that keeps your hole from freezing over. Something about a balloon thing that you can blow up in the hole and it will not freeze over. If there is such a product let me know if you have or have not and where to go for one thanks.

Try a coffee can with a piece of copper tubing coming from the bottom of it. Fill it with charcoal and light it.

They were/are called Hole Savers or somthin like that. I had one years ago and it worked pretty good all in all. They had a loop at the bottom of em that you could tie one of those yellow skinny minnow containers to. I used to leave my minnows at the shack all week suspended under that thing. Worked great keepin them lively ! It was a pain getting it down the hole as it was about 3 feet long though. I used to bungy cord mine down to keep it from poppin back up the hole.
I hav'nt seen them around though in at least 10 + years now and don't know if they even make em.

This was discussed last year. Try Vados Bait shop in Spring Lake Park.

Every year they do have them at the ice fishing show, but I don't recall which store carried them. Good excuse to check out the whole place.
