Ice Fishing Trout Without a Fishfinder or Flasher

I'll admit that I rely heavily upon my electronics when ice fishing. Before I owned that equipment I still went ice fishing and caught plenty of fish. As requested by a view I cover the tactics and techniques I use to target trout thru the ice without a fishfinder or flasher.

This is my first year going out ice fishing, and even though I've fished all my life via the shore or kayak, I never really realized how much in the dark I am trying this kind of fishing out. This video was a great help man.

That thumbnail is absolutely amazing

Yep, sitting on a white, plastic bucket! Even though we have made huge advances in technology with electronic fish finders, battery powered augers, graphite rods, super thin braid and fluorocarbon lines, multitudes of lure designs, super warm clothing, and GoPro cameras, you still managed to stick with the best tradition by using a bucket for your seat. Nicely done!

I used to ice fish in the UP and this season was the first year I ice fished in SE Michigan. I’m extremely salty because most lakes only had 2-3 good ice fishing days due to record warm temperatures (20 degrees above average and constant 50 degree days). I really hope to see average temperatures next year so I can fish

i don't have any electronics but fish the same reservoirs around me all the time. using what i know from fishing open water i've never been skunked ice fishing. i use the same method you do to find depth just strip off one foot at a time till it's on bottom. when i'm with my kids i set a rod or two up for suspended fish other wise just 15-25 feet of water a few reels off the bottom seems to do the trick.

So I watched this video yesterday and I went ice fishing here in prescott arizona and it helped me to catch 4 nice trout in less than 2 hrs! Keep up the great content!

Interesting and informative as usual. Tech is great, but sometimes using your intuition and inherent knowledge is more fun.

What is that bait/lure/jig you are using? Used to use a little tiny yellow jug with an orange circle and a white dot on the top with a little orange powerbait original scent marshmallow thing a few years back and now i can’t locate the trout on the same lake in the same spot anymore.
