I'm now 50 and I've been punching holes in ice for more years than I'd care to admit, lets just say well over 30 years.
For the most part while ice fishing in Utah I set sight on slim rockets in one form or another. Ok I'll admit it, I target Mack a lot and possible more than I should but I will also make runs for several other species. In Fact, if its biting through an ice hole I'm probably going to give it a whirl during the season.
I come by the handle Coldfooter quite honestly because I dearly love to ice fish and I'd rather fish while standing on the hard deck than at any other time of year.
As far as why folks like me, the so called "movers", tend to stroll around its really quite simple. Either we're not marking fish or we're bored looking down the same hole, or witch is more likely the case, we're looking for the bigger bite because as my pappy told me "large fish dont swim with minnows until its feeding time".
