I fish for mostly pickerel, perch and walleye. I fish with the same group of guys forever and we all have the same setup. Tip-up line, leader and hook. I am wondering if anyone else does something different. Also what size hooks are you guys using? I have been ice fishing for a while and am looking for anything anyone does. IE. My father will bring a regular pole on the ice, put a spoon on the pole and hook a minnow to it and lots of times he catches one or two nice size pickerels.
