craig mack Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I usually jig with minnows. I'm not gonna lie I'am usually out there trying to catch perch and I will land a walleye every now and then. I have heard that swedish pimples are good lures for eyes and I think that they are made here in Michigan. Try Iceshanty.com they should have some good advise.

bulldawg Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 If the lake has green cabbage weeds, that is where I start fishing them. I like to set tip-ups near where the weedline ends and drops off into deeper water. I also fish for perch, as Craig said, and perch love those areas too. I use wigglers for the jumbo's, and occasionally come up with a nice eye. #3 jigging Rapala's work nice, with a fathead or rosie red hooked on the treble. Drop it down to the bottom, and jig it up a foot or so. Experiment, as sometimes a fast jig works. Sometimes slow jig, or just leave it set works.

backwoods07 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Just be sure the temp is near or below freezing!! It was 60 here yesterday and I saw three guys huddled up on the lake! Not smart.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 (edited) I just fish a small pinman style jig. Fish weedlines right at dusk and then into the night. I seem to have my best luck with small glow in the dark jib, tipped with a live fathead minnow. You'll pick up crappie this way too. btw- Jammin' jigs puts out great glow in the dark jigs. A google search will come up with their website if you're interested. Edited December 29, 2008 by muggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
