CrappieTechniqueIce Fishing JigsSeasonIceStructureSubmerged Vegetation17 ft of water, hordes of bluegills and crappies in the weeds. They were rising up 3-4 ft to hit my tungsten. I started with a Fiskas Wolfram tungsten jig with a eurolarvae, and then when I started to run out of bait I switched to a Clam Maki Polli plastic in the chartreuse color.

11/08/2021. Mostly cloudy. Water temp 49 to 51 degrees. With my boat in about 10-12 ft of water on the north shore I found coon-tail that's still green. With blade baits I was able to catch bass with stop-and-go retrieve - cranking 4-5 seconds then dropping down to hit the weeds, and repeating.

Panfish / BluegillTechniqueIce Fishing JigsSeasonIceStructureOpen Water/BasinThe day started out slow and by the end it was very productive. Highs in the upper 20's and partly sunny. We set up on a basin for bluegills in about 20' of water. Using Kenders tungsten with clam soft plastics we found some decent gills. They seemed to get bored of the colors after a while so we would rotate colors and it seemed to produce quite well. We also had a couple northerns on tip ups throughout the day. Rotating the colors seemed to be the key though as the school moved in and out mid morning to mid afternoon.

Drill a lot of holes and be willing to move, once you find them they don’t move much and tend to be aggressive.

Bluegills were very active on a 14 foot hump that drops off to 19. clam jamei motor oil was the ticket!
