Early ice so far we have been doing extremely well with tip-ups and big Pike. The tip-ups have been in 5-6 feet of water on the ledges leading to 12-14 feet of water using a sucker minnow.

So during the afternoon 1pm-3pm we were fishing 16-18 feet of water using clam dropkick jigs with a Waxie. This worked really well for crappie and perch. Keeping the bait a foot off the bottom raising it 3/4 feet and let it drop. During the evening 4pm-6pm we moved to 12 feet. This brought the same fish using the same method but this time was a Akua Waxie cream color by Kenders.

The pike were dialed in on the Whopper Plopper 90 Bone color. I had 2 hours of PIKE MAYHEM! Incredible strikes and fish jumping out of the water at the lure. After 2 hours of being pounded by pike, the lure was missing 5 out 6 hooks. I switched up to a perch color whopper plopper and the action died off.

Casting in 6-8 feet of water just at the edge of weed line, also had some luck early with whopper popper style baits in white or bone
