I agree. In the north when we ice fish for big walleye and speckle trout we will snowmobile in and drill the holes. Mush up a few minnows dump down the hole. Then cover the hole with pine bows then cover with snow. The hole will not freeze over.

Next day snowmobile to the lake but do not drive onto the lake. Walk out to your holes un cover and start fishing. Big fish in shallow water.

Beer still tastes the same too.
