Some anglers leave the safety and comfort of home to meet their challenges out on the ice.
That's not much fun if you don't catch fish. As usual the Magnabait has proven itself again and again in these adverse conditions. Here is how our users are finding the sweet spot for catching more fish under the ice and getting the maximum results:
Drill one hole for the Magnabait. Drill other holes in a 6-8 ft radius around it. This is because the fish surround the Magnabait but usually watch it from a distance of about 4-5 feet away. The affected fish are seldom further sway than 8-10 feet. So putting your bait or jig 6-7 feet or so away from the Magnabait under the ice will drop your hook right into where the action will be in their midst.
If you get out 12 feet or more most of the fish will probably be so entranced by the Magnabait that they won't even notice your offering. Sounds unusual but that is just the way it is.
Make sure to see the "Doughnut Hole" strategy for how this approach works in unfrozen water as well.
Have a great day Ice Fishing!
