Ice fishing in the Monadnock area.

[Moderator]

I am going to be doing some ice fishing, I haven't gone in years. Anyone know any good fishing holes in the Monadnock area? Also, what are you guys using for bait and depth.

I fine meduim shiners work the best in the central mass area. As for depth I usally run about a foot or two off the bottom.

I have been using Rosie red small shiners as well as med shiners working good in my area for pickrel, perch, bass. I go about 2 feet from the bottom . Power bait or worms works well for trout about 2-3 feet under the ice. Ice shanty.com is a good site to read http://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?board=8.0

If you get a chance, take/post some pics, I've never seen ice fishing, only heard of it. Would be neat to see.

My neighbor went ice fishing and brought home a 500 pound block of it. His wife drowned in the kitchen trying to cook it for him. Jack
