Wiper,
I was tipping my jig with a Mealworm. However, I usually prefer the waxworms. If my jig was more than 6" off the bottom, there were no hits.
They usually only hit once or twice, very soft. My pole is very sensitive and flimsy. With my regular ice rod, I would have never detected most of the hits.
I know last year (probably a week later than now) we couldn't keep them off. It was usually non stop action. I suspect it will get really good when the spawn is in full swing.
