Storms continue to track across the Northern Icefishing Range making access tough in many areas. The long range forecast promises good ice through middle April and longer in the far North.

Crappies are going on Lindy Frostee jigs fished on a Frabill Straightline comb.  Keith Worrall of OFM on the Ice recommends tipping the jig with a waxworm, and stresses the importance of light fishing line for late ice crappies.

Braggin' Board Photo: Ice Fishing Tip: Kids,Fishing & Panfish!
Braggin' Board Photo: Ice Fishing Tip: Kids,Fishing & Panfish!

There's not much that's more fun for a young angler than catching panfish through the ice. These pannies were caught on a Frabill Straightline combo, perfect for fishing shallow through the ice. The Straightline reel doesn't promote line twist even with the lightest of line, allowing for a more controlled presentation and better success on finicky panfish!

Braggin' Board Photo: Ice Fishing Tip: March Crappies
Braggin' Board Photo: Ice Fishing Tip: March Crappies

March ice fishing and Crappies are synonomous, and the bite is on! These nice panfish fell for a Lindy® Little Joe Techni-Glo® Frostee Jig tipped with a waxworm, a very effective presentation for late ice crappies. A Frostee Jig is best presented on very light line. Berkley Micro Ice in 2# or 3# is a perfect fit.

Braggin' Board Photo: Ice Fishing Tip: Panfish on the Ice!
Braggin' Board Photo: Ice Fishing Tip: Panfish on the Ice!

Gamefish season has closed across muh of the upper Midwest. It's Panfish time on the Ice! Specialty rods like the Frabill Straight Line 101 rigged with small jigs like the Lindy Slick Jig Micro tipped with live bait or Gulp! Alive Maggots are the most popular presentations.

Braggin' Board Photo: Northen Ice Action Hot!
Braggin' Board Photo: Northen Ice Action Hot!

The colder than average February Temps in the upper Midwest have  guaranteed good ice for the near future, and the bite has been HOT. Bay of Green Bay Whitefish, Northern MN Panfish (Picture), Action for Walleyes on Lake of the Woods off the Minnesota shore, and Northern Pike on Vilas and Oneida County Ice has been strong
