Chain PickerelTechniqueSoft JerkbaitsSeasonWinterStructureMatted GrassIt was early morning and they were chasing bait in the shallows. Just watch for water displacement and throw there. Rig two flukes up on your line so it imitates a school better. Slow retrieve or a stop and go.

There starting to slow down so best thing to throw are stuff that sits on the bottom. Try to get out far into the current.

Panfish / BluegillTechniqueIce Fishing JigsSeasonWinterStructureSubmerged VegetationJanuary 28th I went ice fishing here for my first time. I have open water fished it a bunch but never ice fished. I fished one of the creek channels and there were a bunch of other people there. I set out tip ups baited with medium sized shiners and only had one flag shortly after setting them up. It was a white perch which I have never caught before. I drilled all around jigging as well using a small tungsten jig tipped with a soft plastic and was able to catch 4 perch one of them being over 13" it was a slow day but surrounding people caught a few bass and bluegill. Seemed like a slow day for everything but it was still a blast!

Throw it weightless. It allows it to sink slower and be in the fishes face longer.
