New pattern

[rickyo]

New wintertime pattern revealed. Cast a big heavy jig on top of the ice and let it sit for a few seconds. slowly start hoping it on the ice to make noise. the fish will come up to the ice and follow the bait all the way out. As soon as it falls off the ice into the water they are slamming it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i did that one time with a crappie jig, they would smack the ice but wouldnt follow to open water

Another pattern is to take a 3oz jig, cast it high and let it break through the ice....then vertical jig it...they smash it! The only problem is getting them in once you have them hooked.
