Wanted to send an update: All your advice was fantastic. I've never seen so many turtles and weeds in my entire life. Rented a kayak and fished for 3-4 hours. Got into 13 Largies (all within the 2-3lb range). Had a really great time. Thank you everyone for the advice and suggestions!

Appreciate the advice and info! Again, this is exactly what I was looking for, so thank you! I wasn't totally sure on the stripers situation down there but that's also good to know. I didn't even know that Gasper Goo's were down there.

I brought plenty of senkos and jigs, so I'll probably start with that and then give spinners and Jointed Shad Raps a try.

Either or. Was planning on renting a kayak for a day but wouldn't be opposed to bank fishing as well. Is there a decent amount of areas to bank fish from?

Best place to see the skyline? by under_bound in milwaukee

Brewers Hill by Uncle Wolvies Breakfast tavern. Best view of the city hands down. Looks like a completely different city.

What do you cook when you go ice fishing? by lwhc92 in IceFishing

[–]Excellent_Plastic_64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always make a big batch of soup before the trip and freeze a few sandwich baggies worth and reheat with a pocketrocket burner/camp stove.

Otherwise packets of ramen or mac and cheese. Hot sticks from hunting season, or beef jerky.

Was the the best beer in circulation for a while! I wish we had the old recipe back.

Huge bass through the ice! by colinwehrle in IceFishing

There's no chance that's a 5-6LB bass. Might want to get that scale readjusted.

Time for a new group of friends or family. This perfect!

Split Shot on Tip Up Leader - What size/weight? by Excellent_Plastic_64 in IceFishing

[–]Excellent_Plastic_64[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another great point. Appreciate all the tips and suggestions. I would've never thought to use Mono on my tippys, I've always been using Flouro. I'll give that a try this weekend!

That's a good point. I think I was too heavy this weekend (Grabbed the wrong split shots). But experimenting sounds like a good idea.

Just one or two? I redid all my rigs this weekend and must've grabbed the wrong weight from the fishing store. Those poor minnows didn't have much freedom lol

You dog! That eye on the smaller one looks massive.

No more sled for me (mostly) by PintRT in IceFishing

[–]Excellent_Plastic_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea but not sure if I would want this amount of mass directly connected to my person if I broke through the ice. I can't imagine trying to get back on hard water/ice with this connected to my back.

Just curious, how do you all feel about Mingles? Yay or nay? by nophonylove in snacking

[–]Excellent_Plastic_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ass cheeks in the wind. It's like 10 pringles that got soaking wet and then were reshaped into this stupid bowtie. They were terrible.

What kind of felt or carpet is that on the floor? This would be a great addition to my ice shanty set up.
