Look at that fish in the eye! Aint he sayin " AWWWW MAN I done did it again"
It was suspended at 8' in 12' of water and busted up from there to meet the jig at about 5' and drilled it!
I'll second Lance's comment!Tell me please ,was he caught right on bottom? Yes VERY round!
I like to use Suffix ice line in 2# test with a teardrop or smallish glow jig tipped with a couple wax worms.
Wow, what do you use as far as rigs and line for ice fishing? Excellent fish!!!
Nice! I really like those colors.

Ed Harmon said… - I don't see are taste a difference in flavor or texture. I was out this morning for about 3 hours. I caught 11, only 2 red ears. They say rain tonight so my ice fishing is about done for this year. I'm hoping to get out tomorrow

Tony said… - oh yea i had lots of luck last friday.when it was like 60 degrees out but now its back in the teens i hate IL, weather any way the idea it to get them to chase it them pause and let it float up with this bait as it asends it will kind of sway back and forth just a littel but just enough to make them hit and they were hittimng it hard last week ill give it a try again once it warms up some more hpoe it work as well for you

Take care,

JimG told me to go have a look at your site. I'm the guy pictured with the perch. Former fish biologist. Former aquatic ecologist. Now teach flyfishing 'smarter, not harder.' The rig you see is Version 8.0 of what some have called "The Tip Do(w)n."…

Looks like you're on the fish John! Good for you!

I believe the best way to catch them is with a net or seine.
Pretty cool picture of a PK shrimp.
ur lucky- i went fishin 2day after the first week in the 60's. I got skunked. The fish in there were either biting, or they werent there. I think all of them were still deep in the middle of the lake. the extreme wind didn't help much, either.
Jim that is an Incredible Yellow Perch!!! I am definitely Ice Fishing next winter!
I googled 'em a few weeks ago. Still don't know nothin" I finally decided I'd just ask somebody. You beat me to it. I'll wait right here for the info.

Hey Greg, I gotta agree with Bluegillboggyman. The cricket is king here in the south. Although I fish predominately at my friend's Lake and use some of my own artificials and also a flyrod with a black ant pattern, if I'm going to a lake that I'm no…
