As I've been ice fishing over the last several years, wether for trout or now kokanee, It seems as though I've had pretty good success. I'm not one to use more than one or two poles, I just don't like having to manage more.
As I've been out with friends and/or family, it seems like I catch more fish than they do, generally. I have attributed this to constantly jigging as I'm fishing. Now, I don't think that anyone could convince me to be a little more relaxed about the jigging, because I'd rather be catching fish.
But, have any of you noticed that it doesn't really matter? Does the sit 'n wait technique produce just as many fish? Or is jigging the best way to attract and entice the fish to bite?
I'm sure the answer is different for different species.
