Frenchmans Bay, Sunday January 6th

[onwind]

good, but I still have some questions:
1. why the line comes with the combo cannot work? which strength is proper for ice fishing? 4lb or 6lb or 10lb?
2. what's the proper size of the standout hook?
3. what's the proper weight of the weight?
4. Are you using plastic or real bait?

Thanks

I have bought an ice fishing combo, what else do I need?

You will need fresh line, you wont want to go with the line that came on your reel if you bought a combo that had line on it....


If you are to meet me, ill be out till sunset at best...

you have my number give me a call...



Here's an image of a drop shot rig,

I have tied 3 hooks to a line above a weight and tipped each with a minnow through the ice.

If the perch are on, its common you pull up three fish on one line...

In the Proper area.


Do Not forget there are Crappie in the proper areas too.

Minnows can be bought at "TIGHTLINE FISHERMAN'S WAREHOUSE"
