Thanks Dave,
Going to have to give the bobbers a try this winter.
Does it work in "the open", or only in the heated enclosures ?
Typically, we sit in a heated ice hut, eating & drinking & the holes are drilled outside in an appropriate sized area for the amount of fisherpersons. Once somebody sees a flag drop, or rod go down, then it's much like a football game to see who can get there first.
