Seeing Your Lure

The key to ice ﬁshing success when using a Vexilar ice ﬁshing system is the ability to see

your shing lure and it’s relationship to the bottom, structure, and sh. Ice shing with a

Vexilar allows you to present your lure to the ﬁsh. You see the ﬁsh on the display and you

raise your lure so it is right above the ﬁsh on the display. If the ﬁsh is hungry, it will bite. If

not, it will react in some way to your presentation, such as with disinterest or fear. You can

see this reaction on the asher display and adjust your tactics accordingly.

This illustrates a typical panﬁsh

ﬁshing view. As you lower your

lure, you see it going down on

the display while the curious ﬁsh

rise to see what it is. When the

two signal lines meet, it is time to

be ready for a strike.

Bottom

Fish

Several ﬁsh are holding near the

bottom. The thin green line right

on the bottom may be a ﬁsh just up

off the bottom, as the others are,

but some distance to the side.

Fish

A pair of ﬁsh are rising to your lure

as it is being dropped down. This is a

good sign, as competition can make

ﬁsh more aggressive.

Lure

With the gain control set

properly, your lure will appear

as a weak signal. You want it

to appear small next to the ﬁsh,

which are much larger.

DID YOU KNOW ? Setting the gain level correctly is important to be able to understand

what’s going on below you. Use the lure’s appearance as your reference for adjusting

the gain control. Set it so your lure appears as a green signal. Because the ﬁsh are much

larger than your bait, they will appear as stronger signals. Be prepared to readjust the

gain control up and down often, as small position changes and the condition of any bait

attached will effect the strength of your lure’s signal.
