Panfish / BluegillTechniqueIce Fishing JigsSeasonIceStructureOpen Water/BasinWe tried a few different lure types, they wanted nothing big or that made noise. They only wanted the smallest tungsten jig tipped with a spike. Ice was looking a little sketchy at this date but the next two days should strengthen it regardless I would still advise caution on it

They want the smallest jig possible, near bottom. Better to be near the center of the lake instead of edges for panfish. Not much size to these guys. Biggest of the day, was released for another day

Largemouth BassTechniqueNeko RigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationBass along southern and eastern edge were only patrolling shore line not actively hunting. Were skittish of people coming up to shore line. Only fish I caught were on the Western and southern parts of the lake. Both of these sides had wind directly or indirectly on them. They wanted it slow and periodical taps of the Neko. Not a single one wanted it fast or jittery. They were on the verge of spawning more so staging up to.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationWent around 7pm when sun was starting to go going down. Started around North western portion and worked bank slowly around till about South eastern portion. Only caught 3 bass in North western portion within ten minutes of each other. I was using a jika rig I made myself They were all on beds or adjacent to them. They wanted it a bit faster but enough time for them to think and hit it. Bass are now getting on to beds. But with upcoming weather they could be pushed off and the current spawn that is happening be delayed till it again warms up. Shimano mastiff held up wonderfully, it did require more effort to drive ewg into the mouths of the bass as they were all caught out quite far.

Cast out as far as possible once the bait hits the water pause for a second before several rapid twitches to avoid weeds. Walk the shore fish will hit if around

Caught quite a few just around the drop offs and ledges with weeds on a simple neko rig. The bigger ones were just past the drop off or ledges. While the smaller ones were pushed up a bit still. Not a lot on beds most had moved off of them.

Would cast out and slowly reel, and give it slight pauses and jigs. Worked throughout the water column and along the shoreline to entice hits. Worked best off drop-off points and around vegetation. Caught mostly bass less than 2 pounds and 1 crappie that was 8 inches
