Open Water Tip ups?

I love tip up fishing so much, I wish there was someway to rig one up so you could throw it out on a lake, and watch them in your boat. If its legal.
Ive done jug fishing, where you just throw them out and wait for them to move.
I was thinking you could screw them to wood, or something that floats.

Any idears?

I think that is called a “bobber”. LOL

What is alot of fun is night fishing using lighted bobbers. Looks neat [the light on the bobber] and lots of fun watching a fish pull it under. Lots of fun on smaller lakes when fishing for panfish.
Thanks, Bill

Joe: A couple wheelbarrow innertubes should work just fine!!

I would think that those Polar ones, that are like 14 inches across, plastic, and circular….i bet those tip ups would float….just tie a rope to em and when the flag goes up drag it in and set it….haha. That’d be interesting

Jug fishing is legal here in Iowa. If you need a flag, just duct tape one to a 20oz bottle and tie the line around the neck. They stand straight up in the water when a cat grabs one.

Yeah. I just love seeing the site of a flag. Thanks for the “ideas”.

i either saw a commercial for, or saw an ad in a magazine for open water tip-ups that could also be used for ice fishing, or vice versa…..they looked just like the polar ones from frabill but that wasn’t the brand. if i find it i’ll let you know
