I'll add a related question to your topic. How can we best communicate the answer to your question to other ice fishermen on the big ice sheet?
Some might want to have solitude and an undisturbed fishing area particularly if they were quiet and waited after their holes are augured for fish to become active there.
In my case, I appreciate the company of other ice fishermen and particularly ice fisherladies, so how do I let others on the ice know they are invited?
I understand others have lives of too much people around them and a little solitude is an occasional relaxing treat. But, I work with people with no interest in ice fishing and meeting others fishing on the ice guarantees they are interested in ice fishing. It's also an opportunity to learn from others.
I do have my Big Fish Tackle flag. But, how do we communicate the answer to your question?
Flags?
A pirate flag might scare others away!
But then, I'm a pirate, too and would appreciate ice fishing with other pirates, so how does a pirate flag communicate the answer?
How about a table with mugs of hot chocolate?
Would people think I'm expecting the rest of a larger party and stay away?
Still, none of what I've thought of yet communicates the answer to your question.
I've often brought along my black five sided Cabela's tent which is easy to spot from a long distance, that is if I set it up, but it's still in the unopened box. I keep it handy in case I invite friends, so I would be able to make it comfortable for them should they get cold easily. I'm very tolerant of cold and move around augering lots of holes, so I haven't set it up for myself yet.
Anyway, for those reading this, know if you see my Big Fish Tackle flag, then you are invited to visit or fish close or fish with me.
