I took advantage of the beautiful cold day we had and went up to the Haliburton's to check the ice conditions on a couple of smaller lakes I frequent. With my floater suit buckled up tight I was pleased to see a good 3" of solid ice as I slowly made my way out. Fishing the 1st lake for 1.5hrs and iced 2 nice eating sized lakers. One taken on a Blue fox jigging spoon and the other on a small minnow. Both fish were caught in 35' of water.

Packed up and headed further north to a little Rainbow lake. I setup in 16' of water with the minnow rig and jigged a few feet away in 22'. Got a briliant coloured male Rainbow on the minnow and had a real big one break off (to much pressure on the 4lb line....ouch!) on the jigging spoon. Missed 1 other fish on the minnows and called it a day.

Heres hoping the rest of the bigger lakes firm up fast!:)

Take care and be safe out there!

Good Fish'n.... Greg.

Hey tangeldmess,

The rodholder is called "Mr. Jigger" and made by C.S.M Inc. in Belgrade, MT. I purchased a couple of them at a local tacle shop here in Ont. a couple years back. The units are awesome for live bait'n walleye, perch, trout etc.... the rod sits (can adjust the balance) on the wire holder and freely pivots on the holder. It is very sensitive allowing the rod to move up and down and when a fish strikes you just pick up the rod and set. Not sure where you can get them your way but if you search on the company / name you should be able to find out.

Take care and Good Fish'n... Greg.
