Ice Fishing Traps Are A Faster Alternative

By Goldie Booker


It might surprise many people to discover that many species of fish are still energetically seeking out prey even when the water temperature is very cold. It is true that fish often slow down when the water is cold and it affects all fishes' metabolism. Some species are well adapted to extreme cold and actively feed at the north pole. It is this fact that can make ice fishing traps a wonderful strategy.

One favorite winter fish is the perch. They like to move in schools but will sometimes hunt independently. They are often reputed to feed more vigorously right aver the lake freezes over. It is probable they are competing over any remaining food near the surface. Experienced anglers know they can catch through the ice and will use both rods and steel cages. It helps to understand the habit of each species.

Traps are excellent for fish that hang around the bottom most of the time. They are great for fish that school, if those fish are small and like to swarm a bait. Multiple entrances work for these varieties. Many fish will cling to the bottom because it is warmer.

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.

The options are plenty, ranging in size and build. Some have soft fabric meshes that are less injurious to some fish. Others are plain steel cages. Some models have several entrances, such as for small schooling fish. It is important to have the right one for each job.

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.
