Late Ice Panfish

Post by Fisherman89 »

Decided to get out on the ice once more yesterday to finish off my ice season. Decided to go to my favourite panfish lake in search of some crappies.

I started off with tungsten jig head and wax worms. That did the trick, but I got tired of rebaiting after every other fish, so switched to a soft plastic for a bit. The bluegills were very agressive and I ended up switching to a 1/12oz VMC Tumbler spoon with no bait and they had no problem going after that.

By the end of the day I had caught a countless number of bluegill, a single crappie :( , a few out of season bass, and a 30" pike to end it off. Sure is fun catching a big pike on panfish gear!

Here are a few pics from the day and a short video clip. I'll be back out there ice out to find those crappies!
