<p>Thanks Carl! I'll be sure to have my flasher unit with me . I think if these fish can be located thru the ice I'll be able to get them to hit spoons tipped with shiner heads or tails. The big Crappie at my home lake were all over that bait a few years ago thru the ice . If I use tip ups on this spot with live bait I'll have to get to the trap quickly before they take me into the snags I know are down there . That's one BIG advantage of getting them on a hand held rod .If you're off in the…</p>
