Winter Weather Crap

Would you recommend a ultra light for panfish and the fnf? I'm considering getting one just because light tackle with big bluegills and crappie is hard to beat. Cabelas has a rod and reel setup for $30 I think.

So after reading nitros post I decided to try some ice fishing myself. I went out not super confident but was surprised when I got my first hit about 5 mins in. I ended up catching about 10 bluegill and 2 crappie. It was pretty challenging and all new to me but was fun. Thank god for those hot hands or I probably wouldn't of been able to handle the cold. I was using a Popeyes just like nitro said he did.

How big was the body of water you fished? And how thick was the ice

I was just on an small farm pond the ice was pretty thick I'd say about 3 inches as it took a little bit for me to punch a hole through. Let's just say it was thick enough to where I was never nervous at any point.

I really have the itch bad. I actually like cold weather but I am now more than ready for some warm weather and getting out on a lake.

I'm very tempted to give this a try
