Thanks Craig, I enjoyed spending the day with you on the ice. Met our goal of icefishing in November, just couldn’t quite get all four species, even between the two of us. With your invitation, I am going to post my info here rather than creating a separate post.
I was using a small pearl white jig and had the most success with it. Used it with wax worms early, then switched over to a nub of night crawler. By early afternoon I was “wacky” rigging these night crawler pieces. For my other rod I tried a few different things, even catching a couple on orange and green powerbait nuggets, on a wax worm/salmon egg combo (I call it the banana split) and on meal worms.
Best action was with light jigging and it seemed to help to change bait types occasionally. I did catch that brookie while deadsticking right on the bottom. As you mentioned, my spring bobbers seemed to help see the lightest of bites.
All in all a very good trip, and I’m hopeful to get out again soon.
