I would think they would freeze fast and not move very much once in the water. I personally think it would be a waste of time. Just my 2 cents.

There was a thread about this earlier this season.  I think it was in late november or early december.

 We have to put the action into jigs or any other bait we use, so I would be inclined to say that the fish would bite on crickets under ice as they do any other time. If you use them please let us know the results.

They will be difficult to keep alive but keep us posted.

What about putting one of those hand warmers or two in your cricket cage?

   That might work if have something to put the cage in to help retain the heat.
