Ice Fishing Tips

If you’re an angler who starts struggling for action after a good start, you may want to start changing things up.

Start twisting your line, rather than just jiggling it up and down. Fish start getting accustomed to a particular pattern of motion and stop biting after a while.
Switch your jig style. If the fish aren’t biting at a horizontal jig anymore, switch to a vertical one, and vice versa.
Change the size of your jig.
Switch your bait around. You probably started use live bait, but if it worked initially then tailed off, switch to plastic and give that a shot.
Bounce the bottom of the lake. This creates noise and debris which might attract more fish.
Place the rod on the ice. You might think you’re very skilled at holding the rod motionless, but you can’t be as still as a stationary rod.
Take some chum, crush it down and throw it down the hole. This might attract a bunch of new fish.
