Looks like you're all set, cool looking jigs, lots of variety.
Looking like we may get some ice. The only baitshop near us that normally carries minnows, doesn't have any. So I will be heading to the creek today with my minnow siene see if i can't grab a few.
Oh, and the best news, I spent last years gift cards and should have a brand new 3-4 person pop up here by the time ice get here.

you will enjoy that
3 inches of ice at some spots up north here!
We have 4 - 7 inches now here in the southcentral part of the state.
Went out Monday on a small pond, and nothing, not a bite.
Tuesday was at a buddy's in Putnam county and had a pretty good day. My son joined us and the 3 of us caught around 100 bluegill, lots of small ones though. A couple of huge crappie, my buddy caught a 2lbs 14 oz and it wouldn't fit through the hole. I held on to it while he ran and grapped a spud bar and he chipped enough away to get him out. It went back after weighing, he says only a 3 pound or above will go on the wall. Had I caught that one it would have went on my wall.
The ice shelter was great, easy up easy down, everything contained, and warm.
Hope to at least get out this afternoon before the rain f's up our ice thursday/friday.

Yea, this wasn't the year I had hoped, two days on the ice, and only 1 day on the fish. I always hold out hope for the end of Feb, but this is looking like on of the warmest Feb we have had. Did get the dogs on couple of rabbits over the weekend, the score was Rabbits 2 - Dogs/Hunter 0. Still got a couple of more weeks of season.
waiting on the water to clear up and sun to come out. then its lookout crapy n gills. lol
