The pan fish guys fish for perch using a bare lure called a bibit. It is a weighted and painted chunk of lead which resembles a grub or can be painted to resemble a minnow. We crush the barb so a simple dunk on the ice or in a bucket allows the fish to drop off without having to handle them. When you are on a school several per minute can be caught that way. The bluegills, sunnies and crappie are caught with small rocker type jigs tipped with a live maggot. The Northern guys fish tipups baited with live minnows or shiners. The trout guys fish either live minnows or jig for them using weighted jigs.
