I have a Helix 7 CHIRP GPS G2N ice pack. I havenât used it much. The trouble I have is that when  Iâm at a depth of 30ft I can see my lure fine towards the bottom. When I bring my lure towards the top my lure shows up lighter the closer I get to the surface. Even when I turn the gain all the way up I canât see my lure at the top. I couldnât even pick up a fish that was 6 feet under the ice. I also changed the cone settings and IR? settings and that didnât have any effect. I am wondering if there is a setting I donât know about that might change the ability to see something towards the surface. Tech support at Humminbird said I would need to do a software upgrade.Â

When I was up two weeks ago, the lake snow was getting thin and was barely thick enough in the woods for snowmobiles. Have we added much snow lately?

Any word on the trails?

I have an old(purple) Otter Lodge.
I'm thinkin about buying a new one with the insulated cover.
Just wondering what your thoughts are on moisture condensation in the newer houses.
Right now with the moderate temps, my old house is way wet on the inside.
Thanks

I think I know the answer, but . . .
After running for about 3 hours the output on my flasher battery dropped from 12.5v to 10.1v. Pretty much means it's dead, correct?

I have a Marcum LX5 that's been hardly used. I charged the battery then turned it on and let it run to check the battery life to see if I needed a new one. After a few hours it died. Tried to charge it again but no luck, bought a new one, hooked it up, nothing, checked the connections, nothing. Any ideas what's wrong?

New to ice fishing. In a 16â ice castle in a lake with 17 inches of ice. Ice is cracking so much it sometimes shakes my house. Anything to worried about?Â

So I just received my fathers ice shack he built more than 20 years ago. He never got to take it out because of life so itâs been sitting there since rotting away. Iâm doing some TLC on it and want to get some wiring done before the inside is done. Iâll have a propane wall heater, thatâs easy to do for me. But I donât know much on how to configure a 12V system. I just want to add a couple lights inside and 3 or 4 outlets, possibly lights outside as well. Nothing crazy but I want to be able to build off of it in the later future. Please give me some criticism or whatever you please. Just want to do it right and safely. Shack is 6â X 10â.Â

Your welcome to join me anytime. I still hunt and fish with a lot of the same guys that no longer frequent FM or HSO.  I have reduced a lot of my content also because itâs not worth the hassle to type up detailed reports or stories any more so I know exactly how you feel.  I have a good network via PMâs and reports that my circle doesnât share on the forums etc. Iâm not in Facebook either but my PMâs are always open lol  sure do miss the glory days on these forums. -

Otter was one of the first shelter to get the insulated material right to reduce condensation and frost build up. Eskimo is right behind there now with their newer Stormsheild Fabric on their Outbreak XD series. -

Thanks guys! I hope someday you guys can get things back to where it once was. And if would get there I and I'm sure others will be back! She was a blast in its heydays for sure !! Wanderer maybe with some luck we can someday share a blind together. I can see through your stuff you have the same passion for waterfowl as me. đ RundRave really like to join you sometime in SD to do a little pheasant hunting your intel from out there and pics have always kept smile on my face đ Smurfy you were always there to make me smile on a poopty day !  Wish I could of met more of you guys over the years but unfortunately it didn't happen but I'm on the ice at least 4-5  days a week so you never no! Most of the ST Cloud crew I fish with quite often so I'll see you guys soon.  A few questions have been related to me going on Facebook with my stuff joining some groups that's a strong no! I'm not on Facebook tried it once not for me. Some of you may see me posting on some other sites and a few other places I'm working on đ -

if anyone wants to know how censored it was, its me. i try my best to post fishing trips and adventures and in various other threads just to jump start them....especially in the food threads.  my trouble, even though i grew up in richmond and still live in cold spring 99% of my hunting and fishing is up in itasca county so giving reports around this area is not much. pathetic i know......still havent been on any local lakes......maybe after this next trip north.........hopefully ice gets thicker to drive out.  i do know one thing even though i didnt real add much value to this areas threads i sure enjoyed all the guys that did post things...even learned some. like Ozzie said i dont and wont do facebook. i sure hope you guys reconsider. i did go to a few G-T-G'S but that was before i got to know some of you's better. -

I guess my main reason for staying and reporting and checking in daily for any action or topics is that I am not on Facebook and have no want to be on there. I like this site as I feel I get to know people even though many have left and I never really "met" them. I get it why it is not frequented often by many as there is not as much talk and when there is it used to get censored, or you get different opinions that were not always delightful! I will most likely remain around giving my simple reports or thoughts with the hope that maybe, just maybe, this site can go back to half of what it was at one time! Take care on your next adventure IceHawk and hope to hear from you occasionally!!! Good Luck  -

I know exactly what your feeling Chris, and don't blame you a bit. I still pop in from time to time to see mothergoose's trophys and have a good laugh to break the day up on break at work. But to put time and effort in a detailed fish report, tackle review, or even chit chat isn't my game plan around here anymore. Helping with contributing to contests, helping with GTG's, Fishing Report Club, sorry we tried, we really have been left high and dry. Time for new blood to step up and put their time in. My last post was censored, past ones have been edited as a play game by admin, so I moved on. It's almost comical now what's left here for content đ.  @Wandererthere are great reports on FB if you know where to look. Corey, a not long ago member and his friends are alive and well with....  "What's Working Now" -

Iâm coming up to my 14 year anniversary with this site, and back then was certainly FMâs heyday! 2020 was probably the least active Iâve been on this site by far! I still post reports on all my trips, and chime in whenever I can, but yeah, I just donât have the interest or urge to come here like I did back then. I wonât ever stop coming here though. And who knows? Maybe this site will experience a renaissance one day! -
