Hit the ice for the first time today about 6 inches of ice and lots of slush 3-5 inches deep. The snitch handled the work load with amazing results. The busy end was the smallest pug bug with a maki mino the crappies were racing up am crushing it. The gills would come up slowly but would eat it. Had a 3 to 4 pound walleye break me off in the top of the hole.- 536 replies

Jigs “ice jigs”
monstermoose78 posted a topic in Forest Lake-Cambridge-Elk River-Hinckley-Lindstrom-Rush City Fishing Reports - Hunting - Events

Chasing Dogs Riding Bicycles Chasing Dogs Riding Bicycles I woke up in a panic. I’ve had nightmares before but this one was different. You see no one was chasing me, I wasn’t falling from a high place and I wasn’t behind the wheel seeing headlights. I had just knocked off a bluegill at the bottom of the hole that I suspected was an honest two pounds.

Waking up safe and sound on top of the covers and coming to the realization that I had never hooked this fish was a huge relief. Fish

Went to a small lake up around Mille lacs lake and found 20-28 inches of ice. The access looked like some busted it up, so eyeguy and I walked out. We caught bluegills and crappies on plastics. It was windy and cold but we got a few nice ones.

I am thinking of rigging up some kind of dropper rig for gills. Thinking a small buckshot to 4 mm tungsten jig. Was thinking about 3 to 4 inches.

The big gills ( 9" ) are biting in Southern MN. It was a good morning. I was using a flu flu jig tipped with a tiny powerbait. More info, so you can get in on this bite, will be shared with those who share info and have earned their way into the Inside Traders Level 10 forum.
