Maine > Ice Fishing Maine
Wax worms or maggots???
Dickbakers:
??? Ice in in north country. Time to order live bait. I will use lots of plastics but always carry some live bait (worms , spikes or wax worms). No small or medium shiners at local shops. Have to be ready for first ice perch and stocked trout.

Try a few mealworms sometime. A productive alternative on occasion!
catchacold:
Either way don't get the preserved dyed ones. Picked up a few packs of pink yellow and chartreuse Wax worms and nothing would touch em last year. Not even perch or dumb stockies.

Ive pretty much got to cut bait. Used to use mousees a lot. Now a small strip of perch tail or strip of belly of anything, even trout or whitefish. Yeah, it's legal. Have verified it with bios and wardens.

Where do you find spikes? I haven’t seen em in years
