Hope to catch thru the ice this year Jim ,and visit at least these few lakes and either catch and/or learn . Shepherds ;Pickerel ,LM Bass , Bluegill, Crappie , Trout ...Waywayanda ;the same including Perch , Monksville Reservoir ;Walleye, Perch...Vernon Valley Lake ;Pickerel ,LM Bass , Bluegill, Crappie , Perch ...Cupsaw Lake ;Pickerel ,LM Bass , Bluegill, Crappie ,White and Yellow Perch .
Maybe I'll try some River fishing and target some Red Breasted Sunfish . Putting on the waders and fishing for them Dec thru March would be real nice !
Never caught a Walleye thru the ice so some tips from you guys that have would be much appreciated .

I'm open to ideas.
I've never had any winter luck from the bank and the boat is off limits.
I hope to hear some good stuff.

What species ?

Cats, panfish, bass, all the usual Dixie Suspects.
There are some planted trout about an hour away.
My problem is really one of transport. Won't be getting something newer til next spring, and the truck is running rough.
