      <image:title>Blog - Bait Buckets and Pucks; Ice Fishing Live bait - I always use live bait</image:title>
      <image:caption>In ice fishing there are few never or always statements. This is something i learned from Jason Durham, I was at a presentation a few years ago at an ice show. You can find more information on him here https://go-fish-guides.com/ However for me this live bait is an always situation for me. I always bring live bait when ice fishing and I never hit the ice without it. That is not to say that I don’t also use lures. For example one of my go to rigs is a jigging spoon with a fat head or shiner minnow. Live Bait and Species The type of live bait i bring varies by what I am targeting Minnows &amp; Walleyes My favorite rig is a spoon with a minnow. Usually this is a fathead minnow. Sometimes we use a whole minnow and other times part of a minnow depending on how aggressive the fish are. Panfish When fishing for panfish most of the time i will use a wax worm or eurolarve. I know some other regions use spikes. Most likely a tungsten jig to get the bait down faster. Northern Pike Usually i will do tip up fishing for northerns. You will want a bigger minnow like a shiner or a sucker. I put them on a bare hook or maybe a treble hook with a spinner.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Bait Buckets and Pucks; Ice Fishing Live bait - Frabill 13 Bait Station</image:title>
      <image:caption>https://amzn.to/4hpdqlE You want to find the right size bait bucket for your style of fishing. I currently use this Frabill 13 bait station. Its got great thermal to keep you bait alive, but it really is to big for early ice walk out situations. It does have a built in aerator that works ok, but not as good as those new lithium ones they have out now.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Bait Buckets and Pucks; Ice Fishing Live bait - Bait UP</image:title>
      <image:caption>https://amzn.to/4hgZiKW The Bait up is something I used quite a bit. Its really small and fits in your pocket and has this cool floating built in minnow scoop. Its great for a few minnows on a short trip. And is super portable. There are actually two sizes, I would suggest getting the bigger size. A challenge I had this this was at the bait shop it was hard to load when you got minnows as it was so small and the scoop at the bait show was large.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Bait Buckets and Pucks; Ice Fishing Live bait - Engle Live Bait Cooler 7.5</image:title>
      <image:caption>https://amzn.to/4hgZiKW This is one of my favorites. This size is great for a day trip. anything bigger for me is not needed for two guys on the ice for the day. Pair it with a lithium bubbler and you will have live bait all day. The non-lithium bubblers are really bad, and eat batteries like crazy and die after a few uses. So make sure you get a lithium one.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Portable Ice Shelter 101 &amp;amp; 2025 Trends - 2025 Trends</image:title>
      <image:caption>A few of the top portable ice shelter trends for 2025 New Eskimo XDP hub They make the shacks with a shorter bottom wall to make it pack up smaller, and has bigger windows. This was the #1 innovation I have found this year. Lots of accessories to mount poles and electronics on the walls of hub shacks. Every maker has these and continues to expand them. Ice camping continues to grow, there is a huge clam double hub 1200 that is designed for this. Check it out here. Flooring for ice camping is another innovation area I noticed this year.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Portable Ice Shelter 101 &amp;amp; 2025 Trends - Get Out There</image:title>
      <image:caption>No matter what, the important thing to remember is to not let your gear stop you from getting out there and fishing. Don’t have a four wheeler, use skates like this guy. The reality is not often are we able to use skates on a lake but it does happen. If its a nice day you don’t even need a portable ice shelter. Just head out on your file gallon pale and go ice fishing. If you can only get a shelter that is uninsulated that’s ok. Even a suit case style ice shelter will do. Jason and I both fished from suitcase style shelters for years. The main point is to make sure you don’t wait to get the perfect gear. You will remember the experience not that you had the best shelter on the lake.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Portable Ice Shelter 101 &amp;amp; 2025 Trends - Hub of Flip Over</image:title>
      <image:caption>There are two basic styles of portable ice fishing shelters sold today, hub and flip over. One is not superior to the other, but it’s more situational as to what will work best for your needs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Portable Ice Shelter 101 &amp;amp; 2025 Trends - Insulated is Better</image:title>
      <image:caption>Almost all portable ice fishing shacks sold today come with insulation. Each brand will have its own name for it. But basically it means that you will keep warmer in more extreme temperatures with an insulated portable shack. Insulated shacks have many benefits and few drawbacks. You can bring a smaller lighter heater with less propane. Often I will bring the smallest heater I can find with 1lb propane tanks. Before insulated shacks I would bring out a large heater with a 20 pound propane tank. Even though a insulated shack weights a bit more it allows you to shave almost 20 pounds from your sled by not needing clunky and big propane tanks and heaters. Insulated shacks also do not have condensation like the old uninsulated ones. With your heater on full blast because your heat is escaping you also get condensation buildup in your shack. When it was really bad it would actually rain inside your ice shack from the ceiling due to the condensation on the roof. Insulated shacks solve this problem. Don’t worry if you have an un-insulated shack. You can to to your home improvement store and find this reflectix and install it on the roof of your hub or flip over shack. Because un-insulated shacks are sold at used at a fraction of the cost of insulated ones. You could pick up an cheap one on Facebook marketplace and put some of this in the ceiling and solve most of your problems. You don’t have to do the whole shack, just the roof and you get most of the benefit of an insulated shelter.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Portable Ice Shelter 101 &amp;amp; 2025 Trends - Bigger is not always better</image:title>
      <image:caption>Getting the portable shelter that works best for you and your fishing style is important. This ice shack is an otter cabin. We are out fishing on a super windy day on red lake and it was perfect for two of us to fish in. It has 48 square feet of fishing space. For hub style shelters this is on the small side, but I find it perfect for two people and there gear. As you can see we have all of our gear and we are fishing 4 holes. Two jigging and two dead sticks. Sometimes its temping to go big and get the biggest one you can. I do have a clam six sided ice shack that is about 90 square feet. Its really good for a day on the ice with a bunch of fiends. I have fished four people and all their gear. Before I got the smaller hub shack I did fish out of it with two people . But its significantly bigger, heavier and harder to setup than the small Otter. One note is each brand has various sizes I just happen to have a big clam and a smaller otter. So to sum up size, make sure you get the one that suits your needs. That does not always mean the biggest one.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Portable Ice Shelter 101 &amp;amp; 2025 Trends - Weight</image:title>
      <image:caption>With everything I bring out on the ice I think about weight. I often walk a good distance to get to my ice fishing spot. I currently do not have an ATV or other way to get around so I usually use what god gave me, my two feet. So always pay attention to how much an ice shack weights. A similar sized ice shack can have very different weights. Even in the same brand different lines of ice shacks can have different weights. Often the heavier ones are more durable but you need to strike a balance between durability and weight. Sometimes you can have your cake and eat it too. Getting both a durable and light weight shack. You can see in the picture a few years back we were talking out on lake Minnetonka over a quarter mile. I had all my gear jammed into an otter sport sled. It was a work out and my helper was not really quiet big enough to help very much. If you look in the background you can see I have two sleds. One has my auger and the other my shack, heater and the rest of my gear.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Portable Ice Shelter 101 &amp;amp; 2025 Trends - Storage</image:title>
      <image:caption>Depending on the style of ice shack you choose you need to have a place to store it. If your garage is like mine, its pretty full. Hub style shacks are easy to store, I can put mine in the garage attic in the summer when I am not using it. During the ice season I bring it down and tuck it in the corner of my garage. Even my biggest shack the clam 6 sided one with 94 square feet of fishing space can go in the attic. I have a one man flip over shack that just fits through the opening in my garage and that can go in the attic too. This is really nice as I don’t have to take up my garage space with something I am not using in the summer. But when I need its handy. If you go with a larger two person flip over shack they</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Portable Ice Shelter 101 &amp;amp; 2025 Trends - Portable or Mobile</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hub and flip over ice shacks used for a short time and then taken down. Not meant to be left on the ice for extended periods of time. Most of the time its just for the day. But if you are into ice camping you might stay in it for the weekend. But rarely if ever are you going to leave it on the ice unattended. Hub Shacks are portable but not mobile However hub and flip shacks differ in how fast you can move from spot to spot. If you look at the hub shack to the left, we used this for ice camping out on Petenwell Lake in Wisconsin. Taco Chip Doors are Out Doors shaped like a triangle are out. Get a shack with at least once door that opens from the top to bottom and is not shaped like a triangle. People are not shaped like a chip, doors should not be either. There are even ones now that have two full size doors.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Portable Ice Shelter 101 &amp;amp; 2025 Trends - Buy and sell your shack on Marketplace</image:title>
      <image:caption>If your needs change, its easy to swap out your old one for a new model. You can quickly sell your old gear and upgrade. It may cost you a little bit more for the new model, but you can get those new features using some cash from selling your old shack. This is also a great way to upgrade if you don’t need latest and greatest. You can find some great deals on lightly used gear.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 2025 Ice Fishing Shows - I love to research ice fishing gear online. Watching tons of You tube videos showing me how to find the fish. But there is something about going to the ice fishing show. You get to feel what 900 denier fabric feels like. Feel how light that latest auger is. Attend a seminar to pickup a new ice fishing tactic.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Here is a list of upcoming ice fishing shows for 2025. If I missed one you go to, put it in the comments and I will add it to the list.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Jason shares details about a trip to Lake of the Woods where a group of family and friends get together each March for a fishing trip. The trip involved multiple shelters, snowmobiles, and a lot of gear. The group ran into a large pressure ridge that forced them to backtrack several miles, showing just how unpredictable ice conditions can be on big water. Despite the challenges, the trip still produced walleyes and bonus perch, making for another memorable outing on one of Minnesota’s most well-known fisheries.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The conversation also covered some of the presentations that worked during the trip. Glow spoons and buckshot-style lures produced fish, and anglers discussed different approaches to keeping lures near the bottom versus fishing slightly higher in the water column. Like most ice fishing trips, patience and experimentation with different depths and presentations helped dial in the bite.</image:caption>

They enjoyed a "catch and cook" experience at Rogers and Red, which they preferred over another location they visited. Jason highlighted the convenience of having someone else cook their fish, as it avoids potential issues with eating fish on the lake. They also watched the Super Bowl in the shack.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Episodes - S9E7 - Mid-Season Ice Fishing Takeaways 2025-26 - A warm but foggy day on the ice</image:title>
      <image:caption>It was a foggy day on the ice. There was no snow and we forgot our ice cleats and it was super slippery. There were two kids playing hockey on skates. But it was really warm and great to be able to fish outside. We walked out as the ice was not thick enough for cars yet.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The second lake we covered on the podcast. Only got a few really small perch. This was just after the new year 2026. People were driving on the lake but we rode snowmobiles. It was a great day and i fished outside. There were so many people on this little lake. Again the weather was so nice we were able to fish outside all day.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A big portion of the conversation centers on ice fishing shelters and transport systems: Hub shelters vs. flip‑over shacks Pack‑up and breakdown speed Eskimo bags and storage frustrations Ideas for improved hub bags and custom loading systems Jeff and Jason even tease a future pack‑up speed challenge to finally settle the hub vs. flip‑over debate. There’s also talk of employing some engineering help to design a better pickup‑truck loading system for ice fishing gear.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Getting the gear and four guys on the lake on early ice was a challenge. This was how we did it. A wheeler towing four sleds it was not pretty but we all got out there and caught fish</image:caption>

      <image:title>Episodes - S9E6 - First Ice on Red Lake &amp;amp; Guest Ice Fishing Guide Jeff Moreau - Catch &amp; Cook</image:title>
      <image:caption>After a long day on the ice, we came in and cleaned a few walleyes. The cooks at Rogers on Red added some fries and onion rings. It was awesome to catch them and eat them for dinner. We stayed at Rogers on Red and they cooked up our fish for us. There is not much better than catching your fish then eating it for dinner.</image:caption>
