Early Ice is the Most ProductiveEarly ice has the best bite. Once the first ice forms, fish are still active and become brave with the security of cover overhead. Fish shallow with small grubs and worms for panfish and use minnows for walleye and northern pike. A minnow will even take an occasional bass. First ice can also be dangerous. When you first go out, drill a hole and check for ice thickness. Early ice can be inconsistent and deceptive.
