Cookie hates ice noise - Echo

[Cowboypirate]

Great video.  Really shows how many bites the "average" angler probably misses...especially when the fish are in a neutral or negative mode.  A good argument for having a sensitive strike indicator or using a slip float.

Got a chuckle out of Cookie's reaction to the ice noise.  Reminded me of one of the first ice fishing trips that I took TubeBabe.  It was on Pelican Lake.  The ice was only about 3-4" of absolutely clear ice.  And in many places you could see the bottom very clearly...with or without fish.  It was the first ice of the year and it was very cold...so there was new ice forming...very loudly.

We caught a few fish but had to keep moving because the fish could see us too and wouldn't hang around after we caught a couple of them.  I had just drilled TubeBabe a new hole and got her plunked down on her fishing chair.  Suddenly there was a loud boom and a crack zinged right under her chair, between her legs and through her new hole.  Never knew a gal all bundled up in ice gear could jump so high...straight up.  

nothing like memories to make us  - I suppose that is really the reason I do youtube. It is our photo album

BTW I got your message. I will respond this morning
