Vexilar Ice Fishing (White Perch, Crappie, & Blue Gill) // Checking Ice thickness on Winnepesaukee

Lake Winnipesaukee doesn't have enough ice yet (beginning of January), at least not in Wolfeboro bay, for ice fishing. But I wanted to take the opportunity to show you my Vexilar Ice-Ducer (Flasher), with footage from a couple years ago with my old fishing buddy Wayne. That year, Wayne and I had a good first day out on the ice. We both have Vexilar flashers and it has revolutionized ice fishing. They do come at a cost but they are well worth it. Those who have them wouldn't go fishing without them. We are in that group. In this video, we worked a body of water for a couple of hours and found a school of white perch, not giants but good eating size. The limit in NH is 25 total spine fish a day.

Working Class Woodsman let’s get together and do some ice fishing I’ll buy the bait. I don’t live far from winni. Looks like your off to a good start this year.

[@spence0324]

Looks like a great time!!

[@workingclasswoodsman]

Yeah that was a good day!

[@themichiganwoodsman1372]

Thanks for the video Ed. As always, great content

[@KrikenNoxid]

I upgraded to a Vex a few years ago. I don’t leave home without it. I’ve observed that it helps younger people stay more engaged too. Good for the future I suppose.

[@workingclasswoodsman]

Definitely one of the most significant changes in the way people fish through the ice.

[@markmccarty9505]

Good fishing sir ! When and if possible , I like to drill two holes about and inch apart , 4” augar if ones available For the vexlar so I don’t have to fight it. If ice is thin and clear you can shoot through the ice and just add water around transducer. Careful it will freeze to the ice. Better in shack 👍🏻🇺🇸✌🏻 long time sub..

[@workingclasswoodsman]

Good seeing you buddy. I do occasionally drill two holes once we find fish but if we are running and gunning we drill on average 75 holes a day so until we find the concentration of fish I fight the cord, haha. Definitely like to hear about your techniques and strategy tho, much appreciated.

[@RandyRodCo]

There were trucks parked on the ice yesterday down at the "other bay". Crazy the difference in ice from bay to bay on Winni

[@saroocolibaba]

Those looked like pumpkinseed. They are a sunfish family like the bluegill.

[@abefrohman1759]

Sure is a nice area.

[@workingclasswoodsman]

Thanks Abe!

[@MaximLedoux]

I love it around here.

[@tomritter493]

You don't have good ice either ? We have it spotty here some are deep some don't have any on the water ! But you have snow we have water 3 inches of rain last night !!!! Luck ed ! Take care brother

[@workingclasswoodsman]

Yeah hopefully it will drop down in the single numbers soon. There is ice in some bays and people are fishing but not what it should be.

[@BeardedFisherman]
