It would be less work if you don't have to cut a hole in the ice . may catch more too :)

We spend weekends on the boat from mid May through Oct. Its nice to avoid the yardwork. When we anchor out over-night, we useually get a pole out while sipping a few drinks. On the Mississippi, the F36 is a little big for trolling. We have a couple of other boats we bring to the river for getting into backwaters for bass and crappie or to anchor up around a wing dam for walleye. The most common boat caught night-fishing on the Torjan is channel catfish.
