Ice Fiahing and bait

[mikecc]

Wherever you go for your shiners remember to bring a large Plastic Bucket (insulated preferred) that holds plenty of water. I usually use 2- 5 gallon buckets stacked together with a hand warmer in between them so the bait don’t freeze. Try not to use metal buckets it absorbs the cold quicker and you can have problems with the bait going into shock when you put them on the ice. Do not bring a bucket half filled with Ice to a shop and want them to add shiners to it. If the water temp is more than 7 dig. differance from their tanks to your bucket they will most likely go into shock.

Wareham on the Agawam had 4" of black ice yesterday.

Lets hear how your areas doing for thickness ??
