When selecting bait for ice fishing, it's essential to consider the type of fish you are targeting and their feeding habits. Live bait such as minnows, waxworms, or maggots are popular choices for various species. For panfish like bluegill and perch, small jigs tipped with waxworms or spikes work well. For trout, try using live minnows or artificial lures like spoons or jigs. Make sure to match the size of the bait to the fish species you are targeting. Additionally, don't overlook the effectiveness of artificial lures such as spoons, jigs, or soft plastics, especially for predatory fish like pike or walleye. Experiment with different baits and techniques to see what works best in your local fishing spot.
