united jigsticker Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 So last ice season, I managed a total of 2 outings. Once at first ice, and a trip on new years to URL for some fantastic slab fishing.This season, I have bested that already, with 3 total outings, and more soon to come.Amazing what happens when a fella doesn't have a wife anymore, eh'?Crappies have come fairly easy so far for me this ice season.27 feet of water has been the key on 2 of the lakes I fish, while 17 feet of water was the producer on another body of water.The fish have all come on jigging spoons tipped with a maggot or two. I like 2 colors of maggots myself. Red and white.I usually will put a red and white one on. Kinda Christmasy I guess you could say.I'd use green, but the fish don't seem to take to it so well. And I don't mind. Never cared much for split pea soup myself.Soon I will be planning a trip to URL, and checking to see if the Crappies still roam in the winter.Maybe even a stray off the path to LOW for some Walleyes this year too...I think I will explore.Maybe some of us will meet on the lake this year, and exchange stories and laughs over a chilled beverage of your choice.Whatever the case is, I certainly know one thing is for sure: It is great to be fishing again!
