Lures
When it comes to lures, there are a variety of very good products on
the market to use. Check with local tackle and bait shops before
venturing out on the ice. Most times they will be helpful in steering
you in the right direction when it comes to lure selection. One thing
to keep in mind is that some lures look like they are designed to catch
your money not fish!. One of the most important aspects when
choosing an ice fishing lure is to give the fish you are after
something they want. Alternate your presentations until you discover
what the fish are looking for. Change colour schemes, presentation etc
until you are consistently landing more fish. One of the best tips out
there is to change your bait often.A general rule of thumb is to change
your bait after 5 minutes if you have not had a strike. If you
land a fish change the bait before you drop it back
down
the hole. Another important aspect to remember on all of your lures is
to ensure your hooks are sharp. By taking that extra time before going
out you will land more fish on your fishing day. I also take a small
pair of pliers or forceps and open up the hook gap a little. This
adjustment will allow you to get a better hook set with a sharp hook,
and an open hook gap. This is a little trick that will mean more fish
through the hole and onto the ice at the end of your fishing day.
