This was in the boat guys. It's just a heads up to what is going to happen ice fishing.
Ok so today I picked the worst day on the whoe calendar to see if the perch would still bite. This is what happened. I dont think you can pick a bad day at rockport. I think everyday can be productive. So this was the first point we pulled up on. I took a picture of the 13 feet cloud of Perch. We anchored out on the spot lock. Then commenced to pound the perch. Remember they have to be 101/2 inches to go into my livewell or bucket. Most productive was an unpainted led head jig. With a glow body gazilla. Man I'll be Sad when I run out of my maniac stash. I wish some body would buy them molds and get rich. Go get em boys. They are there for the taking. HH

If anyone finds left over inventory of the Maniac plastics out there, be sure to snatch them up. Was lucky to do a fairly healthy stock up 2 seasons ago right before they closed shop, but dreading the day when I run through what I have. Prospector has been playing with pouring his own this past year and a couple are very similar to the Maniac patterns, but sure would like to get my hands on more. The Gizzy-Bugs (like the one HH shows in this thread) and the Cutter Bugs are my go-to favorites.

What's the cutter bug look like, and length, believe I have found something close to the gizzy bug I could make.

They are a grub -style with at paddle like tail, but the tail can be split...about 1.5" long (they also made them in 2 other larger sizes)
The big cutthroat I caught up at Henry's Lake in my avatar picture here was caught on an orange cutter bug like shown below.

You better believe I got a stash of them. It's all I've been fishing for 15 years. Year round. :). Yes I'm thinking about giving some away if I can find a few more to cook for me at the perch palooza. Cause you know there value "NOT FOR SALE". HH
