Been fishing in 40 feet with about 20 feet of plankton to work through. @lindy_fishing tungsten toads tipped with a minnow have worked well. Jig above the plankton line and they come up. Fishing above that line also tends to eliminate any chance of barotrauma for the fish you want to throw back. Those fish congregate in the deeps to feed, so you can’t go wrong setting up in the evening there - once the zooplankton works it’s way out of the ground.

Went out for a really quick crappie bite outing last night. It was one of the few times a plastic/waxworm worked significantly better than a minnow. Lots of fish transitioning into the basin - we were setup along the break in 30 feet. #fishing #icefishing #hardwater #icelife #hookset #thisisfishing #fishingaddict #crappie #blackcrappie #crappiefishing #ladyangler #dsgfish #whatgetsyououtdoors

My biggest splake of the trip! These fish take you on a serious ride. I’ve never targeted splake before in my life, and I’ve never targeted any trout through the ice... so the entire trip was a learning experience! Thanks to @nebraskamuskiegirl for the knowledge and landing the fish 💪🏼 #troutfishing #trout #icefishing #thisisfishing #hookset #fishingaddict #hookset #whatgetsyououtdoors #itsinmynature #fishinglures #icelife #troutunlimited #troutofinsta #catchandrelease

I start communicating with Erin a few years ago and after fishing together in Nebraska we became great friends. She has since moved to Utah and has absolutely dialed in the the lakes there. She always told me to fly in so she could show me what great trout fishing is all about... and she did just that! The two of us spent the weekend in the mountains and she got us on a killer trophy splake bite. I’ve never caught a splake before so it was quite the adventure. These fish can seriously fight. She isn’t just a fishing expert, but a talented taxidermist to boot! Talk about living that outdoor life 🔥 Social media has given me some pretty dang awesome friendships. #icefishing #troutfishing #trout #troutbum #troutofinsta #fishing #hookset #thisisfishing #fishingaddict #whatgetsyououtdoors #icelife #dsgfish #doingsomethinggreat #whatgetsyououtdoors #ladyangler #ladiesofangling
