yum

if you come to la crosse, which i know you make a couple trips here during the ice season, take it to battery mart, let me know when you come and i can explain to you where it is.

nice job cade

I use 17lb fluoro to flip, and I haven’t had a problem yet

I got out today to check out out crappie hole,I had a good feeling that the fish would be fairly agressive before the cold front that is suppose to move in tonight, I had action within the first 5 minutes of being there. The hot baits were jigging spoons and a diamond jig with a plastic or waxie. I had 2 12’s and 1 12 1/2 and many 11-11 1/2 inch fish today. In the end I got around 25 keepers, and they were all released Overall, it was an enjoyable day on the ice.

Here are some pics(sorry they were on my cell when I was alone)

I use a 7’6” Daiwa Light and tough medium heavy, and that is exactly what it says, light and tough.

I would say Alltel, I haven’t had any trouble with them at all

Thanks guys, man did that ever rekindle the fire that was slowly going out, I was in a little bit of depression due to the tough fishing this year, and I really needed a good day on the ice, which as you can see I did. Now I can’t wait to get back out there and find more areas with zero pressure with monster panfish!

Have fun out there, Justin Panno

Overall I would have to say a swedish pimple(or any jigging spoon for that matter)for both species any day of the week, I feel that even on the most sluggish days a spoon can excel if you present it the right way, but if that doesn’t work, i will find myself using a dropper rig, and you can’t go wrong with a diamond jig/gill pill with a plastic or a waxie on it

thanks for the input guys, we really appreciate it!

Call me cheap, but the rods I like the best are the Ice Blues from HT. I have 4 of them and love them.

they are well worth the 7 to 10 dollars

sounds like a pretty sweet deal, good luck to everybody who has replied/signed up for this contest.

that could be it Luke, I am still going to give the gill pill another chance I have a lot of faith in that little thing, i just have to give it another chance, but another thing i have to note is a lot of the fish i was catching were really small gills so that also could have been the problem

nice report wats, it is good to see that you are on the crappies, it is only a matter of time before i hit the jackpot , again nice report

the diamond jig was my “go to” jig and it still is, i used the gill pill for the first time last saturday and I had a bad hook up ratio, but then I used the diamond jig and i got mostly every fish that hit, but i know that the ‘gill pill will have a great day, but it won’t take the diamond jigs place.

the ice blues rod by HT is by far my favorite ice rod, i am a big jigging spoon guy in the winter months and i have yet to find a rod that matches it, except fot the frabill alpine rod.

i like the look of these, i will also be trying them out

all i can say is WOW, nice fish

i bought that lure at petco about a year and a hlf ago, it works great
