chumming for perch/bluegill/walleye

[jessie88]

is there anything people use on the ice for bringing em in?  ive heard people drop like creamed corn n stuff like that. does that actually work?

Assuming it's legal where you'll be fishing, if you're fishing shallower water I've used finely crushed eggshells with decent results for panfish.  Haven't chummed in deeper water through the ice.
 Good luck-

interesting.  and i didnt know you possibly couldnt in the freshwater lakes around her for panfish?  you said assuming its legal, i was going to try on moses or the seep lakes.

Does not appear to be legal on Moses, Potholes or the seep lakes. It is legal on Banks Lake tho.

Skillet, were eggshells an attractant, or to light up the bottom to silhouette fish under the hole?

[Skillet]

An attractant.  It is my assumption they looked like baitfish scales or plankton of some sort.

Good idea to use as a contrasting background, especially if I ever get to spear pike from a dark house... That looks like a hoot.

I've been in a darkhouse, but never got a northern. It is so cool. It's like looking down at a tv.

I have had good success chumming perch (where legal) with a can of cat food or cheap tuna. I poke a few holes in the can and tie a line (cuttyhunk) and a couple oz of weight. Drop it down at least half way to the bottom and give it a yank every once in a while. Most of the perch have chunks of it in their gullet. This is from a boat. No experience through the ice.

One of the few distant neighbors we have lived in Montana and tell some great funny stories of spearing Northerns. I would be a.hoot to do!!!!

Only legal if specified for the lake in the regs book.
