[QUOTE="raider, post: 73941, member: 353"] i night fished at least 10 nights per ice season on western sak for many years... we were usually set up on 12-20' during the day, and drilled our night holes by mid afternoon to have them ready to go for the late bite... if the bite was say 15' during the day, we would have tipups from 10-20'... as the dark came, you could watch the bites come shallower and shallower... we would leapfrog the deepest sets to the next shallow hole, eventually having them all in 1-10' for overnight... caught lots of fish in less than 2' of water under the ice overnight... when and where we fished, we would rarely catch eyes jigging, and our favorite set for overnight was a #4 treble with 3 minnows hooked in the tail (happy meal is what we called it), 1/2 right on bottom with line run through an egg weight, and 1/2 bout 1' off bottom... we evolved into this over the years to get away from the shiners which would drive you crazy in deeper water at night... rattle reels in a dimly lit fish house are the best alarm clocks... good luck... [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] i night fished at least 10 nights per ice season on western sak for many years... we were usually set up on 12-20' during the day, and drilled our night holes by mid afternoon to have them ready to go for the late bite... if the bite was say 15' during the day, we would have tipups from 10-20'... as the dark came, you could watch the bites come shallower and shallower... we would leapfrog the deepest sets to the next shallow hole, eventually having them all in 1-10' for overnight... caught lots of fish in less than 2' of water under the ice overnight... when and where we fished, we would rarely catch eyes jigging, and our favorite set for overnight was a #4 treble with 3 minnows hooked in the tail (happy meal is what we called it), 1/2 right on bottom with line run through an egg weight, and 1/2 bout 1' off bottom... we evolved into this over the years to get away from the shiners which would drive you crazy in deeper water at night... rattle reels in a dimly lit fish house are the best alarm clocks... good luck...
