Northern Dave, how far north in MN are you? I moved to Montevideo in July and would love to get into some quality ice-fishing for the wolf, other than running back across the border to SD to known honey holes. Where you at?

dark shack, big hole, white/red pike decoy and a good spear are required.
nice little wood stove and a 6 pack of PBR are the essential options. Makes me homesick just thinking about it.

it was a long snowmobile ride through a lot of state forest to get home at the end of the day.
Used to pour a couple cans of corn in the hole, they'd line the bottom and make it easier to see fish cruising by. Always had a jig pole and some wax worms for perch.

In my parts we use cisco, smelt (both dead frozen baits) or live sucker minnows anywhere up to 10" long.

it's damn near time too.

we use to use wooden decoys on a jerk string for spearing. use to hang them about 18" below the ice. some times we'd use live suckers as well.

gold fish would be illegal but I damn sure bet it would work. Chicken liver? Well... that might work but you'd be more likely to catch a mess of fat eelpout on that kind of rig and we get enough of them on our other dead baits the way it is.
