Best cold water bait

Thanks. I will be watching for sure. Good luck in the winter league. I’ll be on the ice

In North western Pennsylvania. No ice yet but the reservoir is being drawn down to winter pool. The docks are probably on land. The road to the launch has no winter maintenance because of snowmobiles. We just got that snowstorm so I’m guessing I’m done till spring. The river would be my only option now.

It’s definitely fun and for the most part the only fishing there is. I haven’t caught any smallies thru ice yet. Same body of water that get drawn down is where I fish. No motorized vehicles allowed and everything we fish is down hill and on the other bank. It’s ok until you gotta walk back up the hill. Haha. Don’t really get to search just kinda drill some holes and hope for the best. We do get into some big pike ,walleye, and perch. I did have a couple buddies catch some smallies early under the ice. I just never made it out then. I wait till there’s at least 5” before I go. I don’t like swimming in 75 degree water let alone 35. Haha

Thanks
