My kinda ice fishing. 55F, calm, no slush, no gloves. Rode the sleds with Mack from Stillwater all over the lake. Saw/ caught macs from every spot we tried.
Normal tubes, s-meat were best but I caught several on metal! Kasty and r-bow croc.
We ended up with about 30, biggest 25" and smallest 8".
45-65 ft worked well but the largest came from 20 ft.
this one is still swimming-
Relaxing in the sun
Soon to be smokers- largest was 21" here.
