Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.
When I say ice fishing I really mean jigging. I spent the afternoon today in a productive pond that had between 5 and 6 inches of hard, clear ice. As luck would have it, I think someone was there before me, and drilled about 20 holes in just the area I intended to fish. I never had to chop a single hole.
I was jigging a small gold Kastmaster spoon. On the hook I had a meal worm. These can be purchased in pet stores. Meal worms are a must if you are looking for serious action. Almost immediately, I started catching yellow perch. Most ice fishermen know these fish run in schools, and I caught most of my perch in holes that were about 20 yards apart. While I landed a lot of perch, I also landed some hefty bluegills and a foot long largemouth which was the surprise of the afternoon.
It was a productive day and it felt great to get back on the ice today.
