I have found white to be the best for me when it comes to gills and perch. Don't get to target crappies much but I have had them come on random colors lol
I've had great success with a clam drop jig size 10 color gold tipped with 3 spikes for the big gills or with a small rosy red minnow for the jumbo perch. For me the smaller tungsten jigs like size 12 and 14 with all types of bright colors only produced dinks.
Rat what else you got floating around in that diary of yours...im just gonna come fish your pond....
If only it were that easy....
I've observed that on a bright, sunny day near the end of the season, perch like small, black jigs tipped with waxies or maggots. Now this probably depends on the amount of snow on the ice. As you may know, the more snow, the less sunlight gets through the ice. They also seem to like water that is 8-15 feet deep. Hopefully this helps some people ice some nice perch. This seems to be about the same for crappie and bluegill. Never had luck with any bass or anything.
Doesn't anyone use Chartreuse? That's my go to color, then pink.
What size Jigs do you guys find most productive for perch?
