    Taped Shad

    Something I just started to experiment with. Cutting out tiny pieces of lure tape and using on jigs to give some depth to profile. Also like the flash it gives off. If you notice the tiny air bubbles I think they will disappear after it fully dries. I taped the jig , then tied fedder and flash...

    While waiting on safe ice

    Assorted my micro /mini spoon box out for season. This is the one box I never go without. By tipping with minnow , piece of minnow , maggots or grubs it puts me in line to catch everything that swims in Ohio waters. The one exception is muskie. I have never caught a muskie even a small one on...

    Mousees

    The above pic is what us icefishermen refer to as a Mousee. They are actually a larva of a drone fly. The drone fly resembles a honey bee but is just a fly.
