Bobbing is a term used for "jigging" the bait or lure or combination of both up and down to entice the fish to bite. Most bobhouse have one or several trapdoors in the base that can be lifted to access the ice underneath.
My bobhouse has two hatches that can be openned for bobbing(old term) or Jigging(new term). When the weather is to nasty to fish outside with tip-ups, one can always fish inside where it is warm. And I supose on those really slow days you can throw a couple apples in the hole and Bob for apples.
