Greetings All:
Finally with some good safe ice available, those of us that love to ice fish can get out and enjoy.
Right now here in the Midwest the hottest bite going is in those many farm ponds that dot the countryside. Good panfish action is going on for anglers looking for both crappie and bluegill. Depending on what species are stocked in the pond you are fishing you can really have a ball catching fish.
I have been having the best luck using small larvae type baits like spikes or wax worms. Small jigs tipped with these morsels have been really producing well.
For you crappie purists, bring along some small minnows for the big slabs.
Remember, right now the fish are located in deeper water so start your search there. I have been using my underwater camera and find it really neat to locate the fish holding areas. It's also a rush to see that fish come up and hammer your offering. Almost like playing a video game.
So hopefully you have that ice fishing equipment ready to go and can get out to enjoy some great farm pond action. With a warmup forecast for this week, look for some great weather to get out and drill a few holes. With that said, be safe and enjoy.
