General Discussion / Tungsten Jigs ?
« on: February 07, 2013, 02:35:08 PM »
I picked up some Hard Rock Tungsten jigs and while I love how they feel and have caught some fish with them I do have a couple observations ( Just my opinions)

1) the hooks on the Hard Rock jigs are junk, although sharp they are way too light, bend easily even had the head fall off one!

2) Ice fishermen are being ripped off buying tungsten jigs! There is no question the effectiveness & advantages of them however the prices are ridiculous you get one jig for something like 2-4 bucks but if you look they sell tungsten worm weights 5-6 packs for 6-8 bucks! I cant believe paint and hooks justifies such a drastic difference in price?

 
It just seems to me icefishermen are being gouged anyone else feel the same way?

Alum Creek / Fished thursday
« on: January 18, 2013, 11:27:33 AM »
Finally made it down to try the docks... tough day!
Water was a little muddy around the back 3 docks but clear the first 2 near the entrance. fished several spots on all of them only managed 1 keeper, 3 shorts, several dink gills.
Marked fish here and there with good marks suspended 5-10 ft off bottom just couldn't get em to bite. many fish would come into bait linger then slowly disappear. We tried diffrent lures/actions, colors , baits, upsized/downsized just couldn't get em to go. Several others fishing said they had similar results.
Weather change will probably bring better fishing Sat before front blows in. Good luck Sat.

General Discussion / Auger ??
« on: January 03, 2013, 12:14:03 PM »
Need to get a new auger , I'd like to get into some eye fishing used to have 4.5" auger but only fished for crappie/gills. Thinking that will be too small for eyes and 8 " would be overkill.Would 6" be the best all around size?

Shanty Help / Clam Kenai
« on: January 03, 2013, 12:02:20 PM »
Hoping you can help me out here, I'm just getting back into ice fishing & since it looking like we may get some ice this year, I decided to look for a shanty.

 I ordered one off Bass pro they had a really good deal on a Kenai ($179) that I just couldn't pass up. I like to move around & a flipover sounds like the best option.

I'd like to hear some likes/dislikes if any one has one?

Will I have enough room to carry gear?

My rods are 27" will they be too long?

Does it have a wind break setting?

I know I probably should've asked before buying but I tend to get impulsive when it comes to buying fishing stuff (just ask the wife!) Really the only thing I think I might not like is being a 1 man but if it can be set as a wind break it may not be so bad unless it's really cold and my buddy is freezing his nuts off then i MIGHT feel a little guilty being nice & toasty. NOT!!!  ;D

Whats up everyone just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Jon ( Jonboat)mostly fish SW OH with CJ Brown being what I consider my home lake.

I've kind of been lurking for awhile and just recently registered seems like a good group of guys & I think I met a couple of you  & look forward to meet more.

 Looks like a great site that will help me learn more about ice fishing & catching more fish. I've mostly fished for gills and crappie but looking forward to learning how to ice some eyes!!!
