[size 1]jr8fish -- Yes we were in an Shappell ice shack. You can often fish up there for a few hours after dark without an ice shack; however, if you are going to stay longer than that you better be inside of a shack. I have a propane lantern inside of the ice shack --- provides light and much appreciated heat. I also turn on my submerged 12 volt light; however, most of the time I don't think that it makes much difference, and last night we caught more fish while it was off. I do use jigs that glow in the dark and shine a laser light on them frequently. Last night what worked the best was a jig head that glowed, with a white Whatta Cricket that also glowed. I tried various sweeteners, but what worked the best was a small ball of orange PowerBait. DO NOT GO IT ALONE -- it is far too dangerous to be out there by yourself after dark![/size]
[size 1]HFT -- hearty (crazy is probably a better adjective) soul yes, but love to fish even more. I wanted to get out and Friday was my only chance. [/size]
