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 out deep and just slow retrieve it back to you. Bop it off the ground. Make sure you get into the channel where they could be sitting.

There starting to come closer into the shore. The best time rn is just before dark they get super active and eat. During the day it's best for slow baits.
