Cold_blood Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 iv'e been able to catch them on everything from minnow heads to waxies to plastics so i really can't give you any idea on where to start except the ones i've been catching have been hitting on small hooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Drummer Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 This came on a shinny colored "gill "getter lure and a waxie. This Bass came from a medium size minnow and a hand made lure. So I have not noticed any single lure that catches more bass than the others throught the ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoozebutton Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 It might just be the time of year. I normally catch them on early ice and late in the year. I have caught a few around this time in the past but not this year, I haven't caught one for at least a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brade4 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I usually catch them on late ice with a bright yellow/greenish jig tipped with a minnow head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Buck Buster Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I have had good luck with a buckshot and a shiner on tip-ups, and while jigging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
