I need tips on ice fishing. LR and I are going out in the morning on the lake. We are going to Wal-Mart tonight to get supplies but we need tips on how to fish for certain fish. Walleyes and bluegill are the main fish, I think....LOL!

Info needed is depth, jigs, bait, and such.
Thanks!
Wax worms are good bait, minnows are better. Fish a foot or so off the bottom to start and if you don't get any bites change your depth.

Thanks for the late advice.
We went last Saturday as it was the last day we could drive on the lake. The ice was about 28 inches thick and there was about 6 inches of snow on top of that. We drilled holes but discovered that we were on a seaweed bed....the hole I had was good, but nothing was biting. We had wax worms and minnows. We had jigs of all colors. We switched about three of four times each.
LR went about 50 feet away to holes that were dug previously and caught a crappie! He went back, as he was only about 4 inches long...LOL!
We were out there for about six hours, and all I caught was a sunburn.
We are going fishing in about two weeks as the ice is almost melted now.
Any further advice is welcomed, however, as we are hoping to get an ice shack for next year.
