During all my years of ice fishing, I’ve always pursued the easy targets like panfish, perch and the occasional northern on a tip up. This year, I purchased the necessary gear to go after walleye. Now, I have fished walleye during most all of the open water months but to target them directly thru the ice is a different story.
My plan of attack is either a Swedish Pimple with just the head of a minnow jigged near the bottom or a jigging spoon using a similar bait.
What do most of you use right from the start before you fine tune your presentations?
What about tip-up rigs? After dark?
(Not trying to steal anyones secrets, just trying to learn).
Thanks all and Have A Very Merry Christmas!
