Use a eight inch auger.2. Use a tip-up with a quick strike rig, tipped with a lively shiner. Most if not all fish are released unharmed.3. Drill two holes, one for each tip-up.4. Northerns, bass, walleyes, or anything that eats shiners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
