Pool 11 Ice Fishing Success

My buddies and I ended up fishing pool 11 yesterday and tied into some nice panfish, mostly red ears, bluegill and perch. Spikes and tungsten jigs seemed to be the meal ticket, however we did get some smaller perch and bass on tip downs as well. Ice was 5-7”, but sketchy in spots so bring a spud bar.

Nice looking fish. Im jealous.

Is that a big punkinseed? Looks huge!

Great pics Steve!

Nice fish Steve.
That dam in the the first pic looks very familiar.Dubuque?

That’s the first time I’ve heard the term “red ears”. I like it.

I’m not real sure what sunfish carry for names, ie, warmouths, pumpkinseeds, redear sunfish, etc. But I think they were redeared sunfish.

Yup. It’s Dubuque. I grew up around Dubuque and mostly ice fish up by Guttenberg and Harpers Ferry, but we tried down around Dubuque this time.
