Hi all,

 

Cousin bought a cottage on Rice lake!

 

Hes not a fisherman but wants to start at his cottage and really has no clue what to use or where.

 

I want to buy him some lures specially useful on rice for xmas, can anyone recommend some lures that are popular on the lake?

 

I know there are muskie on rice but he will most likely being trying for bass and walleye.

 

Thanks All

No Brainers for a Novice angler on Rice:

 

All easy to fish and mostly weedless. Key for the novice.

 

Spinnerbaits.

Topwater baits (frogs/poppers/buzz baits)

3 or 4inch twister tails

tube jigs

Bucktail jigs

#7 Shap rap and/or HJ12 Husky jerk

weedless senkos

 

Your bass and walleye ready on Rice. You can add a wack of stuff to that list, but is it a good start and covers all the water columns IMO.

 

Good luck,

Phil

A Trent Severn chart of Rice lake also would be a must, all those baits are great choices, but a lake chart will help to shorten the learning curve, and he will have 3 to 4 months to study it before the ice turns to water, also ice fishing for panfish is open, and he can mark productive spots on the map in pencil of course, as hot spot do change.

HAVE FISHED MANY TOURNEYS ON RICE

WALLEYE AND BASS

BUCKTAIL JIGS IN DARK COLOR YELLOW TWISTER WALLEYE STACK ALONG THE HUGE AMOUNT OF WEEK EDGES IN EARLY SEASON

FLIPPING JIGS DUNKED IN THE THICK WEEDS THAT ARE LEFT AFTER THE ORIGINAL WEEDS DIE PRODUCE NUMEROUS LM BASS THROUGHOUT SUMMER

BELIEVE ME THE LM SCHOOL ON THIS LAKE ...CATCH 1 DON'T JUST KEEP GOING WORK AREA AND FILL THE BOAT

 

GOOD LUCK OH YEA MERRY XMAS TO ALL

think outside the box; get it for the camp not the relatives :whistling:

 

buy some wild rice it's a long grain...give them various paint jobs with nail polish, Super Glue some hooks and a lip on 'em?

 

Give it to them like a "Ship in a Bottle" or a "Box Frame".........

 

That way you can be guaranteed that it will find a place on the mantle and never end up stuck on a stump or lost to a Smallie...

 

It's just an idea.... something I would do.

all great lure ideas - the idea of the chart was a great gift idea. a few friends have fullsize govt charts framed on the wall of their cottage. people will always ask where when you tell a story and we find ourselves in front of the chart everytime im there..,.
