I love people doing outdoor videos that promote good hunting and fishing opportunities. So I’ll start with a thank you. When I read the headline of this particular video, it made me laugh a bit. You say fishing with the basics, yet you still using a fish finder? That’s not basic. Basic is taking your hand auger and pole with some bait, going out on the ice and locate the fish yourself with the use of electronics. I’ve caught thousands of fish ice fishing and never have used one and never need to. I am not against it, nor you using one anytime you like, but “Basic”?
@davidchrisman855 A good friend made that same comment when I made this thumbnail. I addressed that in the description some. It is not necessary to use a flasher to catch crappies on most days but I would have to say that a simple flasher is a basic piece of equipment that the majority of ice fishermen use nowadays.
