Welcome Sugarbear.
One thing you may want to try to help ice more fish, is to have a stiff rod and a wire strike indicator on the tip of it.
I had to use the indicator on my rod on Monday so that I could see the light strikes. The stiff rod allows you to get a good hook set. Also use 4# line and fish directly on the bottom. I use a two hook set up, and my first hook will sometimes be resting on the bottom. I will life it up very slowly and let it back down the same way. Quite often there will be a fish bite, right then. Good luck and come to the perch party on the 29th if you can. DKS.
