Headed to a pond today that I haven't fished in 50 yrs. +, it's a bit of a hike in pulling sled.... Another day in paradise ! :-)

Here's one
Recently got two Bluetooth hearing aids thru the VA... Forgot to remove them, stocking hat has a tendency to dislodge them... On the ice for an hour or so, oops, left ear empty... Chit!
Comes up with a brain storm, tried to pair the phone with the aid and it connects, walked around and it disconnects, kept doing this til I pretty much had a pefect circle of foot marks in the snow, walked to where I figured the center of my marks where and holy chit, looked down and there it was,,,, had another beer and got back to fishin!
Go figure... :-)

If you're asking what to do with the shiners, thaw the ice and fish them on the bottom for pike/pickerel bait.
If you're asking how to keep the bucket from freezing, get a battery powered aerator and use it while out on the ice.
Ice can still form, but it won't freeze solid because the water will constantly be moving. Once you turn it off outside, the ice will form!
I use one when I fish with minnows. (it keeps the bait active)

I am a legend in my own mind!
