Nightcrawlers can be an excellent bait for ice fishing, depending on the fish species you want to catch. Remember that a minimum of 4 inches of clear, solid ice is a requirement to support an average person’s weight. Ice Fishing Safety Thickness Guidelines Stay off of any ice that is 3 inches or less thick. Ice fishing jigging also works with artificial ice fishing bait. You can drop your bait and leave it alone, or you can slowly jig to attract the fish. ICE FISHING BAIT For ice fishing live bait, try wax worms (bee moth larva), maggots, spikes (fly larvae), wigglers (mayfly larvae) or minnows. After about a week of eating, spikes will turn into a brown cocoon, but fishermen slow down this change by keeping them in the refrigerator. Spikes are about a half inch long and are white with two tiny black eyes. Spikes are the larva of blowflies, which are also known as blue bottle, green bottle or cluster flies.
