Panfish / BluegillTechniqueIce Fishing SpoonsSeasonWinterStructureSubmerged VegetationWe fished shallow (5-9’) and deep (13-20’). The fish didn’t seem to show a preference for depth. Aggressive jigging tactics with small baits and light line seemed to draw fish in. If they weren’t chasing our bait…we moved to a new hole.

We targeted the drop on shallow weed flats with small spoons and spikes. Crappies and bluegills came through in waves. Light fluorocarbon and an aggressive cadence were key.

The pan-fish bite has been hot! Look in 12 to 18 feet of water. Drill some holes and use your electronics to make fish. It seems like they bite better in the afternoon. Good luck!

It was a tough bite on this 70+ degree fall day with nothing going shallow, but finding a few better fish in the still green deep weeds at 15 feet.

It may be fall but the water is still warm and the fish are still in summer locations. Tried shallow with topwaters and swimbaits with no action but found fish on the deep weedline at 16' with dropshots.
