Panfish on plastics

We went out early saturday looking for some crappies, none in their usual spots, did a lot of moving around, finally went where others were fishin, started getting gills pretty good, lots of small ones with some keepers mixed in. Got em on a 1 80th oz jig with makiplastics. Crappies started biting near sundown, got a few eaters. a long but fun day on the ice...

thanks for pics, good fish

I had a good three day weekend doing lots of icefishing up north with Jack, Cory, Dave Lindmark, Ben newton and his brother Calvin, and Casey. Lots of big sunfish were biting in the weeds and out on deeper flats. Plastics worked well, so did maggots, waxies and gulp baits.
Pike , bass , crappies, perch, and rockbass kept us busy too, but no walleyes were to be found.
Here are some bluegill pics...
