Ice Fishing Traps Are A Faster Alternative

By Goldie Booker


The water freezing over hardly affects the appetites of hundreds of species of fish. Some types do not like the cold and will sink down to the deepest and warmest parts of the lake in order to avoid surface temperatures. Other fish are well adapted to the cold and will continue to feed on any morsels suspended at any layers. Not all fish hibernate, and so winter work with ice fishing traps can be wonderfully productive.

Perch are famous for staying active in the Great Lakes. Locals say they are most active right after the surface freezes. They are after the last bits of food that blew in with the wind and are in fact more sheltered by the ice. These are excellent fish to catch in mass, using either angling techniques or a steel cage. The method boils down to how the species feed and perch will school in some instances.

A trap is well worth the money because many fish will bite even while they are hugging the bottom. Many species will alternate between layers, rotating between food and comfort. As a rule most fish concentrate in the depths.

Quit a few species will alternate between depth. What it inevitably means is several species in the same trap, after the same bait. Set a trap for a specific species, by alternating the entrance design. At any rate, a good cage and bait should yield several tasty fish.

For any person who believes that a particular type of trap is best, there is variety to choose from. Quite a few sizes are available and also difference entrance arrangements. Some cages have several entrances for small schooling fish.

ice fishing traps are the solution for anyone who does not want to stand around with a pole and string. It is for anyone who wishes to catch on a semi-industrial scale. Sitting out in the cold is a pain and some people just want the fish.
