Picking a good ice fishing location

[SkunkedAgain]

I'm a little spoiled this year, I got the Marcum LX-7 and it shows you everything that's going on underneath you. So if there's fish there you see them. So I don't have to guess on whether it's a lure problem or no fish there. Now if I'm seeing fish and not catching, then it's time to fix my presentation. If there's no fish, then you have to guess whether that's a temporary thing or a general condition. I also don't like to poke too many holes so I drill small holes with my electric until I find good fish, then I get the 10" gas auger out and poke a couple holes I'm going to fish. I hate the noise and don't want to leave too many traps for other folks to fall into. But my method takes too much time and I don't get enough fishing time.

I appreciate your tips and if you see me, come say hey. Sorry it's been long enough I may not recognize you anymore. I have a terrible memory. Thanks J
