Firetiger Ford,
Can I ask where you are planning on fishing???

[Guest]

Punch alot of holes early and stay mobile.
Everything under the ice has slow metablizim so go small and slow.
Remember gills relie on smell and crappies relie on sight. Use crappie minnows or waxies on a small ant or jig.

I will be fishing in Central Illinois in Scott County on a small farm pond. I have been told that bluegill and catfish can be caught during the summer. Can't remember about crappie but would not be suprised to find them in there too.

Hey all. I live in central Illinois and have never ice fished in my life. I have done alot of summer fishing. This weekend will be my first trip to the hard water. Please give me some tips as far as bait and presentation. I have alot of plastic panfish grubs and stuff. I will be on a smaller farm pond and will probably be going for either bluegill or crappie. Will minnows work for that and if so how do you rig them. Again never done this before and know absolutely nothing about ice fishing. Except of course you have to drill a hole in the ice.
