Don't mean to start a war or any thing, but in my humble opinion the best Laker will never compare to a fried Blue Gill or Bullhead.  Sorry... that's just the way I taste it
Agreed!!

Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain.

I agree other fish taste better, but lakers are not garbage fish like some think.  Guess it's just the way you cook it.  Never had any complaints, just compliments. 
John, next time I smoke some up, I'll try to get you some.

There's a guide on here from NH who uses open water rods because the little ones aren't compliant with some record keeping organization and he wants his catches to be eligible. 

I couldn't imagine using a 5' rod ice fishing

First fish I caught through the ice ever was on a 5' quantam ultralight.  Didnt have ice gear back then...got an invite and used the ultralight to swim a bait.  35" pike ate it LOL!

I remember in the Old Days using 7' rods for Walleyes where you would sweep the pimple 10' off the bottom and let it flutter back down. And guys used long flexible "Blue Gill Rods" with light tips to fish for Crappie. Would think it would still work today and maybe for Lakers also.

Yes back in the 50's and early 60's a lot of guys used 5' rods before the short ice fishing gear got popular.  Know 1st hand watched my dad do it.

Yea the huts made it necessary. I'm afraid I go back that far and Conesus Lake's Owner's Assoc, passed a law that NO wind breaker of any kind (not even long coats that would spread out when you sat down) were allowed.
