Outside The Box - Lures/Presentations

[trebormorgan]

I've heard some crazy stories from guys that use out of the ordinary lures, baits, and presentations when ice fishing. I'd like to hear some of yours. I'll start with one of mine that is effective using an underwater cam.

I found that it works great to use a small spoon with a rainbow chub hooked through end of the tail. The presentation includes bouncing it off the bottom and when the walleye comes in to look, lay it on the bottom. The minnow will flutter on the bottom and the fish inhale the bait. To do this effectively you need to use an underwater camera so you know when the fish sucks in the bait off the bottom of the lake, and most importantly, when to set the hook.

I'm looking forward to hearing some creative use of lures, baits, and presentations. Merry Christmas all!
