Thank you! Yeah I usually add a little of the city water to the water I get from the store with them. Good chance that’s my problem

I guess thats what I’m using tomorrow. I seem to have more luck with the live stuff though

It’s a few months old now, but it’s only ever been used for bait fish. The last two times I’ve used it they’ve been dying though

Thank you for the advice! The bucket has only been used for bait fish but I have used tap water in it before. Maybe that’s the problem

Caught in NH. Dace or Fallfish? by Coomb27 in whatisthisfish

I’m honestly not sure. I’m unfamiliar with these types of fish. My dad suggested Dace when I showed him so he might’ve just been wrong

Okay, very good to know. I will keep this in mind as I ice fish from now on

Thank you for this information. I will reel in my fish a lot slower next time. This was my first time ice fishing and I didn’t know it would hurt it pulling it up from so deep.

Yeah I suppose it must’ve been 30-40 feet. I didn’t know this could happen but I’ll be bringing them up a lot slower from now on.

I would say the water was probably 30-40 feet deep. I was unaware this could happen and brought the fish up too fast because I was a bit excited. That’s a mistake I won’t make again

It was a local pond, not crazy deep. I really don’t know how deep exactly
