I can help you,to start with gills are VERY SPOOKY,what i do is drill about 10 holes DONOT let drill go throught the iceall the way[noise] leave the ice in the hole,go back to first hole and set for about 1/2 hr.,now clean hole out[noNOISE][ THEY DO SCHOOL UP],chum oatmeal,fish for 15mins[using different jigs [SMALL HOOK16],NO SPIN,SLOW,SPIKE,IF THIS doesnot work let me know,fish my pondshope this helps RAT
True that that lake has been getting pounded for almost 3 weeks now and everyone out is slaughteringthem. I don't even know how there are any gills in. That lake
Nah...just 40 old farts with nothin better to do RG
Green lake in Leeds is usually good for gills. Probably not safe ice yet thou
You shouldn't be bustin' a new guy's chops like that. If you don't drill all the way through...how are you gonna fish I was on Silver today and dropped one hole in 10'...gill after gill for 2 hours. People drilling and walking all around.... made no difference.I order (for my area) the most productive bluegill waters are;ConesusWanetaKeukaSilverI-bayHoneoyeAnd others too numerous to mention.RG
i WASNOT BUSTIN chops,this works for me if it doesnot for you so be it,and at 72 years old there is no need to bust anychops for any reason.i find the gills here in the lakes i fish are very SPOOKY,AND IF YOU BRAKE through the ice and cleanthe hole with the HAND auger you scare the hell out of the fish[shallow ponds ,lakes] and if you donot understand pleaselet me know,and i will tell you where i am coming from,the lakes he is talking about are NOT 30ft deep,the one lake about6ft deephope you can understand RAT
Advice from the old guys are always the best advice. Rip van winkle is more like 3 feet in the middle. I also have a power auger so I'll have a problem with not spooking them.
