It's been cold all week here in NE, OH. With over 8" of ice, we are going to try ice fishing on the pond tomorrow and was looking for some tips for catching both BG and YP.

My plan is to use a small tungsten jig tipped with a maggot. I might also try tipping with a gulp waxie.

The hard part in previous years of ice fishing this pond has been finding the fish. I've punched holes until i'm blue in face and rarely gotten a bite. I know the fish are in there because they bite all summer.

The pond has a deep hole that is about 12-13' deep.. I often start here but never catch anything here... my best luck has been in about 5-6' of water near the inlet..not sure if this inlet area has more oxygen in the water but that's where I've had the best luck.

Any tips on where the fish might be hiding this time of year? At what depth etc.?
