fishsevern Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hi OFC, Looking for your insight and wisdom here. 4 of us have booked an ice bungalow for mid Jan weekend with Primetime Fishing Huts. We are all new to fishing the area but not new to ice fishing. Not sure if we are going to be in 20-40-100 ft. Any tips or experiences there would help us for sure. Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirCranksalot Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Use minnows. the fish are small and don't often go for spoons and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishsevern Posted January 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Thanks for the tip. We'll have minnows. I saw a you tube video of guys jigging spoons and catching small lakers so have to try it if that fails. Anyone else been there on ice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirCranksalot Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Some of us use a slip float for their light bite. The smaller ones tend to nibble a bit before swallowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishsevern Posted January 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Thanks again guys. Great tips! I'll let you know how we do. If there are any other tips i'd like to know. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishsevern Posted January 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 We had some success Friday-Sunday catching 14 Lakers averaging 1-3 lbs (well 15 if you count the little guy I lost at the hole). Medium minnows with a small jig or treble off the bottom worked better than anything else. No ling pike or eyes. Was a fun weekend. Thanks for the tips guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
