| I jigged up this nice crappie today in some bluebird weather. This fish hit a small gold Kastmaster tipped with a Berkley Gulp Maggot. |
The weather is cold, really cold, but the ice fishing remains hot. I've gotten out several times in the last week jigging several different ponds and I've gotten good numbers of fish. It's been a lot of variety with perch, pickerel, crappie, largemouth bass and bluegills all hitting.
Today I got out on the ice with my son Ben. I was amazed that there was almost 10 inches of ice in the pond we fished. For the most part, we were jigging small Kastmasters tipped with Berkley Gulp maggots. That seemed to do the trick but the biggest fish caught today actually hit a Kastmaster with a plastic maggot.
My son, Jon, hit a first yesterday as he jigged up a pike, the first we ever caught while jigging. It was a small one, about 3 to 4 lbs. A day earlier he got a bigger one on a tilt. He's been scouting around in a number of places and doing quite well jigging after his work day is done.
