id be willing to try evergreen threw the ice for tigers, now that ive walked that lake i think i have a good idea of were to try for tigers threw the ice
Tigers usually only go after live bait... may be hard to target them threw the ice.
every year up here a few folks lose there poles to the suprize tiger. i have seen shows when they targeted true muskies thru the ice with dead suckers just off the bottom, thats going to be my plan a strip of sucker meat just off the bottom i just havent figured out what part of the lake to start at
The lakers will probably relieve you of those suckers first.roadkill said:every year up here a few folks lose there poles to the suprize tiger. i have seen shows when they targeted true muskies thru the ice with dead suckers just off the bottom, thats going to be my plan a strip of sucker meat just off the bottom i just havent figured out what part of the lake to start at
Personally I think you have a better chance of being hit by debrit from the space shuttle, LOL.

no lakers up here at deweese
i can only hope
good luck with tigers through the ice, maybe pike but tigers, like neal said ...
sounds like a chalenge i'll see what i can do this winter
I think that since they aren't nearly as aggressive as pikes and their metabolism is slow, your chances of catching one are almost nonexistant. They are gonna be like the fish of a million jigs.

thats enough encouragment to get me to set a line for them thins winterTips: These fish move freely and can be difficult to find. Fishing is never fast, but the thrill of catching one justifies hours of effort. Most muskie caught through the ice are hooked inadvertently by people fishing for other species. Get a second pole permit and rig a tip-up for tigers while you are fishing for perch. Use steel leader or one of the new super lines. Suspend a minnow 10-30 feet below the surface, off a point, or over open water near a school of perch. If you have your drag set correctly, and you play them right, you can usually get tigers up to the ice. It?s pretty hard getting a big tiger through an eight-inch hole, so the fish often come off at that point. Use extreme care if you try to pull them through, since their teeth are razor sharp.
I think a big dead sucker...they eat plenty of dead fish come ice off...an easy meal...jig for trout or something with the other rod...
what sort of stucture would you target for them and depth if the water comes back up i know a few spots that have big boulders in 10 or so ft of water and i know of some good rocky slopes that are relitvely smooth or should i look for muddy/sandy bottoms ?
