Ice Fishing Field Notes

Three short guides from Bryan’s trips on the ice.

Underwater camera setup

See where Bryan sets his bucket and monitor while he scouts on early ice. Watch his camera setup on YouTube.

What is jigging?

Lower the lure to the bottom, reel it up a little, then lift and lower the rod tip. Let the lure settle between lifts so a fish has a chance to bite.

Walleye or yellow perch?

Look for a white tip on the lower part of a walleye’s tail and dark vertical bars on a yellow perch.
