misfish Posted January 31, 2021 Report Posted January 31, 2021 Well we got some ice on whitie grounds and all my lines have at least one of my creations as a drop . Been playing around with some different things. Mostly blood and grub style. We set up in 23 fow with a solid 5-8 inches of ice. I had two hits this morning ( only two fish that came in ) and both were on my ties. The first one bucked off at the hole . Caught the ice on the tip of the hook. Second one found his way out of the hole by my bear grip. These fish came off the bottom and smashed the fly's. No checking it out,just up and smash . I was so jacked. Of course,me fishing partner for the morning was like,hey,I need some of those baits. LOL. As always, I shared . Christen the new hub as well.LOL Finally a feed of fresh whitefish and fries tonight. Me fav. 5

akaShag Posted January 31, 2021 Report Posted January 31, 2021 Brian, when you say "as a drop" Are you using a heavy lure on bottom (meegs, etc) and the fly higher up as a dropper? If yes, what knot, and are you tying it on like a drop shot, or on a bit of leader, or ???? I always thought I should try jigging for whities with a Michigan wiggler, in fact might have tried it once back in the mid 80s, but.......? Doug
misfish Posted January 31, 2021 Author Report Posted January 31, 2021 Yes, they are all above a lure. Meegs,vibrato , williams . https://www.netknots.com/fishing_knots/drop-shot-rig

Moosebunk Posted February 1, 2021 Report Posted February 1, 2021 Judging by the murder of that whitefish... I'd say your bloodworm is aptly tied. 1
