Sailor welcome to IFO and welcome back to a great sport. i am in central oh but fish all over and plan on fish alot of new places this year (ice permitting) i have all the gear and I fish alot. I am unemployed so i can fish just about whenever I do have classes in the evenings but mornings and afternoons are wide open as well as weekends.

Welcome,nice pic!

yep had to put something good up and no hardwater pics for this year yet

Never really thought of it as one main type before. I would say I do fish more for pan fish than any other. But like many of you, I try for many different species throughout the year.

couldnt of said it better i target the big gills most too (which is weird as i rarely fish for them other than on the ice) but i fish for everything

johnny i will defiently do that

jumpy im not seeing prices on your site can you give me an idea of what it runs per person and also what some good dates would be.....i have no idea how the ice/bite is up there so i wouldnt know when to come up

Ok guys does anyone know of any ice guides that do perch trips? I know there are quite a few that do the walleye trips but what about perch? I would like to take the wife and do this with her. Have taken her a couple times around home and she isn't sold yet.

Does anyone have any luck in the bays for good perch fishing? Have thought about fishing some of the bays for the past couple years but never have. Can you get into any of the big crappie like in the fall and spring around the boat docks (pilings)?

 Any info on this would be great I am kind of putting together a ice fishing to do list if you will and trying to actually take some of the trips I have been wanting to do for awhile now

those are some beautiful crappie!!!

Never used the spoons but i love the smaller jigs catch alot of fish on them especially big gills. not sure if dave has the super neon glow or the regular but both glow really well. i like the fact that you can get the glow in regualar green red or blue. Makes up the majority of my smaller jigs
