Title: I'm Gene and I'm an addict
Post by: zrinyi1 on March 02, 2014, 08:23:57 PM

I think I can admit that I am now addicting to ice fishing.  I've been an avid fisherman for years, but was always leery about trying ice fishing.  Now, I can't believe I waited so many years before trying it for the first time.

I hit Ladue for about 3 hours this afternoon.  I hit the ice around 3:30 and left shortly before 6:30.  Until 5:30 it was pretty slow.  I only caught 1 little perch (4") during that time.  Then at 5:30 the bite picked up and I caught 18 gills ranging from 4-8".

Last time I was out I missed a lot of fish, so I went to a smaller jig (1/32) and that seemed to make a big difference.  Ice was about 16" and I was fishing about 10 FOW.
