So I've givin ice fishing a try for a couple years, but never really got into many crappie. I usually use tiny ice spoons, but was wondering if there actually to small to tempt crappie into biting. So what are you using weight and size??
3 solid days icefishing from dawn to dark and I am worn out. 8" of ice in central IL. Day 1 was on a pond. Day 2 at Ramsey Lake, day3 at Matoon. Good bite morning and at sundown. Using plastics with crappie nibbles.
I'll post some pics later
Personal Best 17 1/2"

Small tungsten jig with plastic and crappie nibble. Also a buck shot rattle spoon with wax worms works great

My best lure for crappie specifically is a Swedish pimple tipped with a wax worm.
How thick was the ice at Ramsey?
