Jds63 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 we may try a stocked backcountry brookie lake up in the gravenhurst area this saturday ... depending on ice conditions just wondering what would be a decent go to lure for ice fishing for brookies ... since there are no shiners left anywhere around here was thinking perhaps a simple worm and hook, or jigging with a small williams or egb any other suggestions ...

pike slayer Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 ya try worms in 4-10feet of water near bottom (1 foot) or right on bottom. get a nice shiny #30 silver williams wabler jig it 4-5ft below the ice with light quick little jigs and just keep it moving, its all in the wrist. dace also work decent as well if you want to set a still line.

archie_james_c Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 ya try worms in 4-10feet of water 4?!?!? Get in 2 and 3 feet you girl!!!! The one and only Speck I caught this winter was with a #6 Eagle claw treble with the worm's head hooked through two hooks on it. No weight at all in about 3 feet of water laying on bottom. Last year a Blue/Grey EGB tipped with a minnow head jigged in 3 feet caught this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 i like to use a spoon with the treble removed and a snelled hook with a worm. i also like a variety of small jigging lures like buckshots, crocodiles, egb's, and natural coloured crappie tubes.
