Tipup frustration
Unanticipated day off today so I reckon I'll gear up the rods and supplies for next trip out. Got a few questions for y'all so I may start a few threads.
I am still relatively new to fishing (4th year - guess I'm not that new), but only 2nd year icefishing so still much to learn.
Firstly, tipups - generally I set one up and fish with rod in hand as my other line. Anyways, I can't seem to catch a fish on my tipup, dunno why as I seem to do fine with my rod.
My question is are tipups generally used primarily for larger fish like whopper Gators and lake trout or can they be effective when fishing for trout/walleye/perch? I can see a tipup being a bit much for the perchies but it bewilders me why I can't land a trout or walter on mine. I set up the same presentation as I do my rod but get no hits. What am I doing wrong. Am I wasting my time using a tipup for trout/walleye because I'm getting awfully tempted to just roll with 2 rods instead.
Any info would be much appreciated.
Cheers n GL all!
