I have caught them on dace or about anything else you put down there. Catch about 3 to 1 jigging to traps. If they are feeding they will nail anything just about.

Leave the traps at home and just bring the jig rod, you'll have much better luck ;)

The biggest togue I have caught through the ice (11.5 pounds)  came on a 1 and 1/2 inch dace.  
I'm just here to read what all the experts have to say.

I would definitely use only dace. Smelts never work very good.

Can you dip Dace Dennis?

That would taste awfully fishy :o ;D

I've caught togue on just about every kind of bait. I think it's more dependent on what kind of bait fish inhabit the particular body of water you're fishin.

If you are jigging with bacon you have a good chance of hooking me!  ;D

That's the logic right there - nothing on God's green earth can say 'no' to bacon...  :)
