Scouting Through the Ice

Since the 1960s, Lowrance flasher sonars have helped anglers hunt fish
beneath the ice without drilling holes. That's because your IceMachine
works as well through ice as it does through water!
This technique works best early in the winter fishing season, when ice
is clear and free of bubble formation. There must also be wet, bubble-
free contact between the transducer and the ice.
To shoot through solid ice, first brush away any snow from the spot you
want to search. Then, pour a small amount of non-toxic recreational
vehicle antifreeze onto the surface and place the transducer (face down)
in the puddle.
Another variation used by some anglers requires a small plastic bag,
such as a food storage bag. They fill the bag with a mixture of RV anti-
freeze and water. The bag is placed on the ice surface, and the trans-
ducer is rested in the "puddle" just as your head rests on a pillow.
