Can this unit be used for ice fishing?

YES! However the unit must be in contact with the water or ice with no bubbles underneath. Recommend melting a small patch of ice on the surface then allow to freeze around the senser. electronics work better under cold. conditions less los in the from of heat.

Yes that is what use it for the most and with this you don't have to drill a hole to check depth you just need a little water on the ice.

Just enough to melt the top layer put the sender in allow to freeze the transducer as long as no obstruction will give you a picture of whats on the bottom leave enough to remove latter

I don't believe this would be the best tool for you, it is built mainly for snow...the scraper is not that strong or that sharp, it works great but I would not use it on ice! I would get a shovel designed for that. From Tom in Minnesota!

Yes, I only use it for saltwater fishing. I have caught king mackerel, spanish mackerel, jack carvalle, and many other saltwater fish using this reel.

I do not believe so, however you can test your unit by preparing a proper ice bath: http://www.thermoworks.com/blog/2010/10/making-a-proper-ice-bath/

No. These deicers only warm enough to keep a hole in the ice open. This allows air exchange to keep the fish alive.

I don't see why not. It comes with some adaptors that should help. My personal opinion,yes it should work......iceman

HI, We haven't tried that. We don't ice fish, we bought it as a depth sounder but I see no reason that that wouldn't work.

This is unlikely to cut through ice. It would probably hover above it as it is for removing a lot of snow with one push comfortably.

Most, if not all GPs units allow for "bookmarking" of sites you are at, as well as entering and saving coordinates for locations you haven't visited yet. Many offer POI's, aka "Point's of interest", and some allow you to upload custom poi lists, such as these http://www.poi-factory.com/taxonomy/term/55, however none of those are specifically geared for ice fishing. As far as which unit to buy, I'd make sure that it's durable & waterproof, or at least water resistant. ;-) Also, I'd suggest a unit that is geared towards marine use, so that it will contain, or at least allow uploads of marine charts or inland lake charts, if that's something that your husband needs for ice fishing.

Most handheld GPS's made now are accurate to within a few yards, sometimes even better than that. For marking ice fishing spots you would not need a fancy one, any handheld unit should work. To keep it working in very cold weather, I suggest lithium batteries, which also last longer.

I've used mine on known game trails and areas I've baited. I used it at bait sites to make sure I was getting the type animals at the bait that I wanted. I've used it in rainy weather with no problems but not in weather cold enough to produce ice. My thought is that it would work fine in cold weather as long as you used something to keep snow off the lens.

I would not try to break ice with it. I suggest a metal shovel for that purpose. If you first sprinkle de-icer this will shovel it all up nicely. It is also useful for small leaves and pine needles.

I would say yes but watch out for the wind!!! It can blow you all over. I use mine on a river float fishing and can maneuver great in the calm flat parts in front of my camper. Just watch the wind lol. Hope this helps.

You can but the guides are kinda cheap so i would watch that area. After years of complaining about the cheap guides Shakespeare finally listened and introduced the Gx2 rods. However the ugly cat as far as i know (might wanna check) didnt get the new guides and other improvements. Rinse the rod out with freshwater as soon as you done. This rod doesnt have a lot of backbone so unless you fishing for smaller game i would go with something else.

No, you can't because it has a rechargeable battery. You just have to make sure that the unit is fully charged before you go fishing. It would also be helpful if you bring along some kind of charging device so you can recharge the unit when it starts to run low on power.

It could, but not attached to the poles unless they were low profile bait casting reels. This would also limit the amount of pole space.
