[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 241347, member: 1485"] I gotta admit: I'm a bit torn by the hole mentality of tip-ups and set lines far from your house. I mean, if you're pretty much on your own and away from the crowd, sure, spread them around! But if you're in a pretty well known community spot, it takes a special kind of asshole to blanket the entire area and say "I claimed this, you need to find somewhere else to fish." You certainly can't take that kind of "ownership" during the summer (unless I suppose you're anchored and have bobbers cast out all around the boat) so it's odd folks find it perfectly acceptable in the winter. Personally, I don't like having my tip-ups too far from the shack. I've lost many light biters due to not getting there fast enough. And I grew up down in the Shitties where things left more than 10 yards from a house meant they were apt to get run over by speeding pickups, 4-wheelers or snowmobiles.
