This will be my first year using a fish finder while fishing through the ice. I have a question for those of you with experience in this area that is probably pretty basic, but I was just wondering about it.
Do you all drill a seperate hole for your transducer or do you use the same hole that you're fishing in? Is the cone not large enough to pick up your jig if it's in a hole a three feet or so away from you? I understand that this would probably depend on the depth you are fishing, but what about the average trout depth....15' -25'?
I was thinking that if I were in a two man ice shack that I would just drill a third hole right in the middle of the two fishermen, drop the transducer down and than run the wires up through one of the floor holes. Do you think that would be able to pick up both jigs? Could I get the same results from putting the transducer down one of the fishing holes that we're using?
...just lookin' for some tips and ideas here.
