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.
