Silver Lake Ice fishing first time out
Message:
Hey all! It's been a good while since I've posted here on CTFishTalk but I'm glad to be back. I hope you all have had a great holiday and new years!
I got out to the ice on Silver Lake a couple days ago with a buddy of mine. We each set up our tip-ups on that smaller cove straight out and slightly left when stepping off the launch. Good weeds there in pretty shallow water and lots of fish cruising.
Between us, only fishing for a few afternoon hours (2-4:30pm), we iced 5 largemouth, 2 pickeral, and a bullhead. I missed the biggest pickeral I've ever seen at Silver when the ice or his gills/teeth cut my leader. Lots of fun though. Got to set up our new ice fishing shelter as well. That thing is great and sets up quick. Wonderful stuff out on the ice my friends.
Tip ups were rigged with live shiners, most of medium size, with a single hook just by the dorsal fin. Most action occured with the bait high, just a foot or two below the ice. Too deep (5ft or deeper) and there's a good chance your bait will be in weeds.
Best of luck out there, be safe on the ice! 8)

Ohh, almost forgot...I jigged a little bit for Crappie but had no luck. Was using wax worms on a small glow jig, on an lite ice rod/reel combo. Only jigged for a little bit though and didn't move around so I wasn't surprised the jig bite was slow.
