I had the opportunity to take a buddy of mine on his first Ice Fishing experience on Thursday. He is a avid fisherman from Alabama, but had never fished the hard deck.
I decided to fish the soldier creek side and we were able to be set up with lines in the water by 6:45. From my experience, 9 times out of 10, the biggest fish of the day comes before sunrise and within ten minutes he had hooked the pig below.
We were using white jigs with chartreuse heads tipped with a meal worm.
We caught 9 (8 cutts and 1 bow) in about 2.5 hours and the quality of the fish was outstanding.
I've been fishing strawberry for years and the two fish attached below are top 3 fish that I've personally seen caught at strawberry.
The second one took almost 10 mins to land. Went on some crazy runs!
