Go To Ice Lure

[Jim Almquist]

Buckshots or Kastmasters are typically the first lures I try every time out. Kastmasters work great for perch too.

This is a another that works great in the perch pattern or the plain silver.

No mention of jiggin raps or the soft plastic storms?

[Craigums]

anyone just use a jig n minnow?

Me, thats why I started the thread I wanna broaden my horizon

[Mike Stark]

do folks think that spoons and rapalas out fish a jig n minnow?

it seems that if it works so well in open water season..why not during ice season.

[TroutYammer]

#4 Hook with usually a minnow and sometimes a nightcrawler puffed with a slight amount of air. I am curious how many others use nightcrawlers in the winter? Crawlers work great on MilleLacs lake in the winter.

[mozy]

TroutYammer, do you buy them online? I've never looked for crawlers in the winter, but I would imagine they would be hard to come by unless you ordered them.

[northernsportman]

#4 hook, split shot, and either a shiner or a fathead.

[icehousebob]

Depending on water color and time of day(and a few other conditions) it could be a firetiger Crusher, glow Buckshot, or a Chubby Darter. I jig them actively and have a bobber rod with a live minnow on a lure in a nearby hole. They sometimes come to look at the jigged lure and then hit the one beside it.

[TroutYammer]

I have a small worm farm in my basement. I change the bedding in fall amd keep it hidden from my wife all winter down in the coal bin. Keeps the crawlers at about 50%F all winter.

When using such spoons as buckshot, forage minnow, rattlin'varmint, angel eye, and little cleo should a guy use a bobber or no?

if i were to use any of these lures under a bobber i would have a minnow on it! the movement of the minnow would do alot for it !

[Brade04]

Full body minnow or just head?

[Esox_Magnum]

I'll use a live minnow if deadsticking a spoon, for jigging I prefer just a head or other body parts or several waxies. I don't use a bobber just a limber rod for a deadstick.

[evinrude19]

if i am in my portable i will have a bobber down with a plain red hook and a minnow and i will usually be jigging a forage minnow spoon or some sort of spoon or darter

[Fredd]

perch colored non-rattling varmint

[Buck_Hunter04]

I"ve used a Gold colored jig head with a fathead minnow on LOW, Mille Lacs, and all of my favorite walleye lakes in Wisconsin. It seems to work really well for perch and walleyes. I normally hook the minnow through the head. However, I've also hooked them through the back and used the medium paced raise and then a really slow fall and I normally get the strike on the raise. This works REALLY well on LOW.
