Since I first got into ice fishing in 1959......Your basic pan-fish were what I enjoyed catchin and most of all, eating. Crappies/Gills/and perch all seem to be at their peak of tastyness at this time of the year. So I still mainly fish the same basic ticket. I manage to toss in... Bass/Trout/ large red-ears/ channel cats/and walleyes also..... I have some smaller private lakes, that offer a real variety of fishing opportunity in relation to species.........Mostly.... my trips are buddy orientied, as to where we are headed and whats there to be caught....Don't fish much by myself these days....and given the choice.....still choose companionship over solitude...as I enjoy others also doing their share of catchin....safe fishing to all...jON sR.
