   S9E12 - Nunya lake & Lake of the Woods Prep

   Late ice is here and the season is anything but predictable. Jeff shares a recent trip to Nunya Lake chasing crappies and perch with Northwoods Dave, while Jason prepares for a big group trip to Lake of the Woods and the challenge of hauling all the gear. In this episode we talk confidence lures, why full moons can make fishing tough, and how dirty water and early morning starts can change everything. We also dive into practical ice fishing tips like using a simple 5-gallon bucket rod holder, aggressive jigging techniques, and why sometimes the most basic gear works the best. Plus we discuss ice conditions across the state, listener feedback, LED underwater lures, rod durability, and the never-ending process of dialing in the perfect ice fishing setup. If you’re still chasing fish late in the season — or already planning next year — this episode is packed with real ice fishing talk. 🎣 Topics in this episode: • Nunya Lake late ice fishing report • Lake of the Woods trip prep • Confidence lures and dirty water tactics • Simple gear hacks that actually work • Ice conditions across Minnesota

Listener news sparks talk of a future mountain trout adventure, and the guys wrap it up with gear talk, generator plans, and late-season episode ideas.

[…] Is that generally? So what I was doing, which is different, I think that I normally do because of the type of lure. My one, if I was running, let's say the red buckshot, I was running that lower, like a foot off the bottom and hitting bottom and bringing it back up. And then the flashing lure was, usually I had that about two feet, two and a half feet off the bottom. So it had greater visibility. I don't know. Mark, what were you doing? I was always on the bottom. Okay. I was always, not more than a foot off the bottom. I was always on the bottom, you know. I don't know, I've just always done that. […]
