Bass on the ice ?

[Fishing 24/7]

ever heard of double headers on the ice while bass fishing.

It blows my mind how the bass through the ice seem pretty hard to find in Southern Ontario, but you guys in Northern Ontario and Quebec fish for bass through the ice as efficiently as you do softwater!

If they were actually in season down here, people would be fishing for them.

Very true as far as up here goes. I catch bigger LMB in the winter each year while perch fishing than I do in the summer bass fishing. Usually on waxies but I have had my fair share hit a 6" sucker intended for pike.....

 

 

Nice bass man!

The thing is, all these panfish trips using minnows should equal to a pretty consistent catch of "incidental" Largies. And in places like Simcoe, I would think that the smallies would mix right in with the perch.

 

I'm not sure I'm proving a point...I have no written proof and I've only caught a handful of largies while ice fishing. They definitely don't come every trip for me. As for targetting them, I can see myself with a lot of skunks before even getting into some..

Ouch, looks like you hooked into a pair and not fish!

I think it depends on where you're fishing and the body of water.... we consistently catch OOS largies when we're targeting perch on my local pond. Doesn't matter where you move to, they're mixed right in with the big perch and will eat minnows, live and artificial, gulp maggots, jigging spoons, you name it...

and smallies are the easiest fish you can fish on ice.

 

find a pile of rocks and bingo.
