Ice fishing report for February
Finally, we have good ice to fish and it looks like it will be here for a while. Many places in Central Illinois are reporting 5 to 10" of ice and making more each day. The 10 day forecast shows cold temps and we should have good ice for the next 2 weeks.
The fishing the past few days has been a bit slow. The first and last hours of of the day have predominately been the best bite. You may have to work hard to get the mid-day active fish to show interest during those inactive times, but they can be caught. Most of the fish have been caught on wax worms and small jigs but don't forget about other jigs and baits, you might be surprised. Woody and his crew had some luck with a chunk of a Gulp pink worm.
