see im a straight boater...ice fishing is fairly new to me and so is the red river...im usually out in lac du bonnet..whiteshell or lake of the woods... and i find fish at the red river bite like noooooo other.....soooooo dammmmmmnnnnn slllooooowwwwwww.... so i was wondering if people had certain colors they used or certain techniques to increase your hook set percentage, different approaches or a certain color that maybe triggers them into biting a little more aggressive.. anyways id like to hear some feedback

Lindy rigs are meant to be used while in motion. so like trolling behind a boat or reeling in. they wont do what they are supposed to while ice fishing. stick with the jig's for icefishing. salted minnows also work real well.

yeah but what about sizing down your weights and puttin a live minnow on lettin it do all the work givin it the natural approach
-
i guess the current dies down soo much in the winter time..it makes it a little difficult unless your closer to the locks

where do you buy live minnows near selkirk

i dont buy my live bait in selkirk...i get it from the fishing hole in winnipeg

ive just been gettin into bucktails...anyone else have luck with em??

wouldn't really say it's sloooooow! They are there , just have to find them , after 4 outings and catching small greens and saugers..... Lady luck shone her face on me today.... 3/8 - 1/2 oz , Variety of presentations but a very light bite.... They would come up ...tap , and when they felt resistance ....let go! opened the bail....Tap, fed them a little line... and drive the hook home!
Flashers play a key role in catching these Brutes.... my LX3 is the first thing that goes into the truck EVERY time....
Both broke the 29 inch mark but not quite the 30.......

NICE WALLY!! see...the way i look at it...i havent caught mine yet this year....but i went all out in the fall time...that was a disapointment..i didnt land too much because of the late season or i was just fishing the wrong spots...never caught nothing but a cold...so i bought a new ice shack which is my 2nd now.. so i usually round up a crew 2-3 times a week.. so i figure...if i keep pullin through the hard times... eventually there has to be a light shed upon me...or dayuuummmmmmmmm...
