On iowa farm ponds, the fish bite slow in the morning hours, kinda sluggish i use a trick to "wake them up" - especially-bass, and perch. i use a wooden handled/ fiberglass -jig pole, with a cheap metal reel , to store line .i use spiderwire -ice line-2lb./6lb. strength, its very sensitive/ very strong, for hand-lining fish up the hole, does'nt ice-up very much!!! (I use a depth finder weight, to find bottom..) 1.)hook on depth finder weight,lower to bottom,reel line in 6in.-1ft. off bottom, bring in line -with depth finder weight/ take off weight. bait up with waxworms, 1-2- or 3 2.)let line down, to bottom/ selected depth/ if line stops, before reachingbottom, SET THE HOOK!!!!! /probably a blue-gill. 3.)if your line gets to bottom.? let jig rest for count to "5", then snap rod up 6" let fall back to bottom/ then quiver jig very slowly/ ( my trick to Quivering a jig is to tap rod with index finger of rod hand,tapping rod,, tap!!tap!! tap!!. try it , it might work for you / it really does for me/ dont forget always experiment with different jigging styles, make your own styles. "WELL HOPE TO SEE YA ON THE ICE". IF YOU HAVE ANY TIPS TO SHARE/ OR NEED SOME ?? SEND TO MY E-MAIL |

Posted At 20:59:33 05/22/2000 Hi I live in southern Minnesota and I tried this method on a lake near my home. This lake is Lake Tetonka. I fish this lake alot and you can catch walleye, bluegill, and pike very easily. I tried this method on bluegill an it worked. Very well. Thanks for the tips. |

Posted At 18:21:22 01/07/2002 To catch these pickeral or smaller pike you can jig or use tipups. For jigging I prefer to use a 30'' light action rod with 6lb test. For a jig I preffer to use a swedish pimple in the smaller size ranges. small rapalas also produce. I have even caught them on micro jigs with waxies in abundance when fishing for bluegills. They are great predators and will hit just about anything at the right depth. If using a tip up, use a lg ftahead or even bettewr a 6in shiner. place it about 2ft under the ice. Pickeral tend to be pretty active in the winter and will move quite a ways to hit an injured shiner. Good luck. |
