Bluegill and Crappie bite has been very good at Chester Woods. We stuck with a Clam Pinhead 1/32 oz most of the morning and the fish were absolutely loving that. Chester Woods tends to slow down drastically during the day, so your best bite windows are going to be early in the morning or a night bite.

Tip any ice jig with Maki in any color, skip the waxies and fish with Finesse! One plastic will last all day! plastics are a great way to weed through the small agressive fish to get to the mature larger Pans!
