I wanted to take a picture of a White Stoni that I used for the past two outings.... it was responsible for an estimated 150 crappies coming up through the hole.... but it was finally pulled off late this afternoon by a thieving fish which was never seen..... cool

Shallow water perch Maki and Super Maki I like them both on a gold Kastmaster or Sidewinder 1/8 oz., I hang it horizontally off one of the trebles and use 2 anchor points two secure the plastic to the hook... OOps Forgot, watch out for 20" small mouth bass they have been know to crush it and walleyes winklaugh

They do have their place Iceman! Im not as an extensive user as some, only suggestion is to start with a few proven models in certain colors. Rather than buyin a propack which has a lot you may not use for ice fihing. You can rack up a good bill qucikly trying to equip with all the plastics!

Maki,Buggi and Stoni in Chartreuse, white, motor oil are a solid place to start. Now thats my opinion and everyone here prolly uses different ones but these are my fav 3 that seem to cover the pan fish cravings.

My thoughts are to think of your color selection in real clear water use natural colors and the darker the water, brighter colors. I tend to think that dark colors work really good when the fish are coming up for the bait . . . contrasts against the ice. I try to keep my selection simple as well.

I've been using Scott's stuff for three years... have boxes and boxes of his baits in a rainbow of colors..... 2 "go-to's are Red and White.... then Natural; Root beers, motor oil, bluegill flecks,

I stocked up on Red and White in a variety of styles at the show though.... if there's fish under you they'll be on the ice......eventually.... Oh and some of his older "glow" have been known to work too.....

Very nice Franky...that's a great way to look at it.

All I ever see you use, is 1/2 ounce Purple Sweedish Pimples tipped with a 5 inch SpotTail Shiner crazy

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
