Ice Pigs

[Stratosman]

Here are a couple late Feb. ice bass, fishing panfish with 2lb test, fun times. Just came across these pix and had to post, starting to get excited again. Both from same metro lake, two days apart.

Nice bass! Some nice bass swimming in the Metro Lakes. Early and late ice can be phenomenal fishing for them!

Good Fishin,

Here is one from 2003. I had a 23.5" in 2002, but never got a pic.

Wow, nice doggy thru the ice!!! I'm impressed with the size and number of bass caught ice fishing especially since everyone knows they don't bite under the ice!!! Do any of you target bass in the winter or mostly catch them by accident? I know of a few lakes that I can catch bass in the winter on a somewhat consistent basis but other lakes seem void of bass during the winter.

Nice Bass Guys and nice bow there Bob!!!

I need ice

[Stratosman]

I guess I never target bass ice fishing, catch all of them by accident. There is one lake where we catch bass every single time we go panfishing, I'm not sure why that is because I fish other lakes that have good bass populations and very rarely catch bass. There's got to be something behind it. It's kinda neat watching the Vex, you know it's a bass, a thick red line comes slowly from the bottom, I would have to just hold the jig in place for a few seconds, and just lift up and many times they would be there. Sometimes they would have no interest and sink back to the bottom, you could come back a few minutes later and coax them off again. Kinda fun.

I'll target bass on occasion, especially on Cheqaumegon Bay, excellent smallie fishing. Sometimes in the winter the bass will school up and you can get some pretty fast and consistent action, this is mostly during early and late ice.
