New Guy From Wisconsin

[Winnebago John]

Just like to stop in and say hi. Found your site from the guys over at the Underground. My specialty is Ice Jigs. I live on Lake Winnebago and do a lot of water and hard water fishing. I love to paint ice jigs and supply ice jigs to a lot of people who do the same. I have been at bait making for over 30 years mostly because winters in Wisconsin can be rough ..I Look forward to reading and being a member of your site.

Welcome from NW Ohio! Have a short ice season here (most years) and try to get the most out of it when the ice does get thick.

Like the looks of the bottom jigs in your picture...... what weight and hook size/style are they? Custom mold?

Those are a custom cast mold marmooska size 12 and 10. Size 12 we are still working some bugs out.The weight slips my mind at the moment . I forget everything as summer goes on I'll be sharp as a tack by December (ya right). I'll check

The craziest thing we do by me is sturgeon spear. Cut a 4' x8 foot hole in the ice and sit in a dark ice house and wait for a sturgeon to swim under neath us.
Got this one in 1996 and a few more through the years

I would pay to watch Rad drink Martinis and wash it down with whiskey standing on the side of a 4' hole in the ice,lol.Especially when it came time to spear the sturgeon.LMAO
