Fishing Questions

[Billy13426]

I have several fishing/ice fishing questions.

#1 Does anyone know of a way to make insulation for a pop up deer blind so I can use it as a ice shanty?
#2 Does anyone know of a good way to secure a fishing rod while trolling in a kayak?
#3 When fishing in a river could I use a bobber to prevent it from snagging when I have a night crawler on the hook?


Feel free to answer any of these questions or post your own questions!

For trolling while kayaking - rod holders positioned toward the bow, but in reach seem to be effective.

#3 When fishing in a river could I use a bobber to prevent it from snagging when I have a night crawler on the hook?

Yes but will float down stream faster.......I use a river rig.......rod line to 3 way swivel to big sinker 18 to 30" (depending on depth)...third leg has 18 to 30" line with bait or night crawler.

Nope. Ice fishing is what I consider an excuse to sit around and drink beer while freezing one's toehooties off. Not a fun time IMO.
#2 Does anyone know of a good way to secure a fishing rod while trolling in a kayak?
Bungie cord.
#3 When fishing in a river could I use a bobber to prevent it from snagging when I have a night crawler on the hook?
Even a bobber won't prevent snags. When I river fish, I'm usually fly fishing. Match the hatch. I kinda know the structure in places where I worm fish for catfish. If fishing from a boat on the lake its usually a combination of bait casting with yamamotos or real night crawlers or floating jigs, depending on the time of day. Worms mid morning to late afternoon. Floating splashers at dawn and at dusk. Your mileage may vary. When trolling, usually just a simple spinner or a diving bait (one that sinks when pulled but rises when not.) Never had any luck just trolling worms. Worms for pan fish on a small hook and worms for catfish on a drop line or bait caster is about all I use em for.

My favorite ice fishing video:

2 Guys ice fishing.......Not catching anything.....
They hear a booming voice...."There are no fish under the ice"

Guy says,..."Is this The Lord speaking?"

Booming voice says..."No, rink manger"
