Favorite First Ice Lures/Presentations???
« on: Nov 17, 2014, 09:56 AM »
With the new season upon us right around the corner, what is everybodys go-to lure the first time on the ice?  I always have a 6-8 inch smelt on a tip up rig for pike and then jig with a spoon, some type of blade bait like a cicada or northland minnow, or a simple minnow tipped jighead for walleye.  Anyone have any suggestions for early ice perch?  I don't have any in my "home" lake but there is a lake not too far away i will be definietly visiting before too long.

I always have good luck with early perch on small 1/8oz PK Flutterfish, and earth worm chunk, fish seem to be agressive early and the drop on that spoon seems to get them every time.

Small Pk spoons particularly the red dot glow with nickel back tipped with a minnow for early eyes as well as smaller jig-a-whopper and buckshots!

gold with green and Orange glow little Cleo flutter frenzy.i would put these against any lure out there for catching hard water walleye. found these one day in a little hardware store in prince Albert around 10 years ago and bought all 26 of them. these are by far the best walleye lure i have ever used tipped with minnow head.never seen them anywhere since.still have 20 left..still in their packages.
