I'm very grateful for this advice! I went today after 1:00. Shallow water, sun, probably 50% snow covered, bubbly to clear ice , maybe 4 inches.Partly cloudy, about freezing, gusty. I think the spots I drilled were 2 1\2, 3 and 3 1/2 feet. I went with wax and meal, I accidentally dumped my one minnow down the hole. I also used a homemade spinner combo set up, crappie stinger, and a pink pink tube. No luck at first spot. Second spot was slow but I did have two rainbows that got off half way out of the water, near the end of the day.I even tried going for the small tiger muskie I hear about.
I wish I'd read your advice beforehand, maybe I'd have caught a pan fish like I was going for. Still it was my second best day out there.
I use a mp3 player with audio books, also a pot of coffee.: )
I have another question. How would you go for walleye through the ice at a spot you never fished? Is a 4lb test sufficient?
