Just wondering what everyone likes to fish for through the ice. I'd have to say it's walleyes on the bay or river. Nothing like settin the hook on 10# walleye through the ice.

Gills and perch. Planning on spending more time going after trout and walleyes this year.

Gills, perch run a close second but since I don't have any very good perch lakes around my house it's definately gills.

We'll let me see. I really don't know if I can choose just one.
I love perching threw the ice but I also love gill fishing also. Then fishing eye's or northern I just can't choose one so I will go with all :D ;)

I like perch in Lake St. Clair, and pike at my cottage. Pike fishing at my cottage is a very social event.

crappie, perch, then pike. There is nothing better than getting into a school of slabs at night in a shanty with the heater and lantern going. Too much action to even drink a beer. Hess isn't very good for perch but I like to hit White Lake for them. Putting out tip ups and sitting in the cottage waiting for a flag while playing cards is also a lot of fun. Especially since I learned how to fillet them. :D

Anything thats hittin! Heck I've had days I'd do backflips if the Carp were thick! I was so bored at Fletchers one day I spent 2hrs trying to get a crayfish to grab a minnow! But If I had my druthers it would be Jiggin for Walley or Pike. Nuff said. I'm a tad bent, Mama won't let me go fishin this weekend, I'm thinkin about
fakin a work related emergency and skippin the Family (her side)
shindig! Shoulda stayed single!:mad:

Jigster, I feel your pain!
The wife reminded me that this is family reunion weekend.....I am hoping the boss gives me Monday off, and/or that I can sneak out a couple hours either on Sat or Sun.
As far as species, I love jigging for Crappie, while watching a tipup flag for Pike.
