Lower them down to the depth you are reading fish at with a split shot a couple feet from a fine wire hook, or these days a lot of guys use the drop shot rig.. If those fish you are reading are crappies they will surely hit live minnows, so will perch and white perch...
Thanks, will definately give that a try, and yes, i know they're crappies. No perch in this lake, and i do catch them through the ice. I was using different jigs, a beetlespin, and also super worms, which do well through the ice too. Will try the minnows, thanks for the tip.
