Bait question:
What do you guys use when trying for trout. I do the kid's ice fishing derby with my girls at my club on the small trout pond. I am not that familiar with ice fishing other than using shiners.
I usually just use medium shiners when I ice fish but if I am targeting some trout or salmon (Brood Stock Atlantic Salmon)
Had a pretty good time today, took in three bass biggest being 2lbs and there was just about an endless supply of pickerel. Ice in Sturbridge was about 12 inch. think.
