Greetings all:
The ice fishing here in the Midwest is going strong. With lots of safe ice to explore, the ice anglers are having a ball.
Top choices right now would still be those farm ponds and smaller lakes that contain panfish. Look for good crappie and bluegill action happening in the late afternoon and continuing into dark. For the bluegill, small larvae baits such as spikes and mousies doing well. Use a small 1/100th. ounce ice jigs or wet flys tipped with bait and you will catch fish. For those crappie, waxworms and small crappie minnows are doing the trick.
For you anglers in areas with frozen river backwaters, look for some decent action going on there also for panfish. As a bonus, some great northern pike action is going on using tip ups baited with frozen smelt.
I'll tell you folks, with a great weather forecast for this coming weekend on tap, I hope you can get out for a few hours and enjoy some of the great ice fishing that is happening in the Midwest right now.
Be safe, wear that PFD and enjoy all mother Nature has to offer. At the end of the day, you will be glad you did.
