Jeff and Jason attend the big one, the St. Paul Ice Fishing Show.  We meet up with A few listeners and friends and have a great time looking at all the latest ice fishing gear and gadgets.

 

Beer

The Statement of Purpose Martin House Brewing - A Peanut Butter Golden Stout https://bit.ly/3Ir8kDk 

Turkey Mountain Ale from the mountains of Iowa - Jason is drinking a home brew qualifies as an old man beer  

Patrons

Chris moved up to the Legend status, so will be sending him out a hat.  Thanks for your support Chris.  A zoom meeting will be coming up soon for our patrons.  We also talk to about how to get discord on your phone.  Here patrons can chat about ice fishing.  We ran into Leo a patron on the second  floor at the ice fishing show.  Its always great to meet our patrons in person.  We tried to meet some other patrons at the show but were not able to connect.

Aaron G

Sent in a picture of his new HFS sweatshirt, thanks for purchasing one.


Kris Z
Cooler Case for your Camera https://bit.ly/3DCpHgW  

Screen is in the lid and he has a direction finder to show what way his camera is going.  Different than a panner. Unsure why this is better than a case but I suppose its kinda cool?  Love that its home made


Tri-pod Camera Mount

He put his Marcum 5+ camera https://amzn.to/3pCHlvX   on a tripod at amazon https://amzn.to/3Gq05Wn  and used a Marcum camera compass https://bit.ly/3dwtJgn   to control the direction of the camera. He said it works really well.  My brother in law used a similar setup last year. 

 

Calibrate your Ice Chisel

Jason talks about how to calibrate your ice chisel as you gage the amount of ice on the lake. Things such as your arm strength and chisel or spud bar type can affect how thick you are testing the ice.   As always there is no safe ice and be careful early season.  

 

Tim Asks About Minnows

When do you use a full minnow, head vs cut off the tail.  Charlie says to cut the tail off if your minnow is to active.  If the fish are finnicky use a fish head to get the fish to bite the hook.  Jeff has used minnow heads less than tails.  Jason says minnow heads and Cheetos are a bad combination.  Start with a whole minnow, if that is not working then switch to a minnow head or tail.  If your bait is getting stolen then move to minnow heads.  

 

Q: Critical things to increase your odds on the ice

A: Hope and Prayers

 

Check out hard water freaks for there big event Saturday January 29th. Looks like a great time and we would love to go.  https://bit.ly/3rL9G69 

 

Topic - St. Paul Ice Fishing Show

Jeff and Jason get together in person since last ice in March 2020.  

Ran into Joe Ole and Original Ole.  Who is the OG Ole we just don't know. Ran into Brian from the short rod show, Corey a Patron and Brian from Red Door Resort. Its like a big family reunion.  

 

Fish Daddy LED Spoons https://bit.ly/3IvJvWV 

We are going to try these out, why they could be better than the snap glow jigs

 

Wallace Decoys https://bit.ly/3lNHjQT 

Jason's wow moment was Wallace Decoys, he makes incredible works of art.  Jeff's favorite was the sun fish.  

 

Ice Spy by Winter Recreation Tech https://bit.ly/3lOwH45 

Its a righteous  buoy, it freezes into a lake and uses cell or satellite signal as the ice freezes to say how thick the ice is.  

 

Eskimo Outbreak 650XD https://amzn.to/3oACY5d 

The one with the full door.  Brother Matt explains that people are not he shape of triangles so doors should not be that shape.  This ice shack is a hub shack with a full door to the ice.  So when you have all your heavy gear on you don't trip over the door.  Also much easier to get your stuff in the shack.  

 

Adapter for Auger - Deep Freeze https://bit.ly/3rNGo6N 

Jason uses a drill setup on a Pistolbit https://amzn.to/3oADKz9 auger. This lets you disconnect your auger from your drill quickly and then drill in your hub ice anchors then quickly connect back to your auger.  

 

Blue Tips https://amzn.to/31Gm7FB 

Is a blue tooth transmitter that you put it on your tip up or trap as they call it in the NE.  It uses blue tooth to transmit to your phone when your trap is tripped and alerts you. 

 

P3 Plastics https://bit.ly/3Ir90IS 

Made out of Winona Minnesota. Jason is going to try some plastics this year on the ice. They had a really nice booth with a bunch of different plastics. 

 

Smart Stop Micro https://amzn.to/3pDOHzh 

These are unique bobber stops that are small.  Use these with a foam yellow calm ice buster bobber.  The bobber stops I find the string is to thick, so this is an alternative. You need a special pair of pliers to these on.  Jason is very skeptical of these fancy bobber stops. 

 

Line Cutterz as Seen on Shark Tank  https://amzn.to/3rMR4CL 

This will cut your line instead of your teeth or tweezers.  This works even on braid, which can be a problem with some other line cutters.  It also makes a clean cut for super thin line and small lures.  Sometimes you bite this line and it will flatten the line and not go through the eyelet of your lure. You wont have this problem with line Cutterz.

 

Okuma Bait Feeder Reels https://amzn.to/31DZ4v7 

For a dead stick or bobber setup, the line comes out of it instead of leaving your bail open. 

 

Legend

 Jason tells the legend about how the ice show is a bunch of middle aged men walking around saying "that will do the trick"
