Ice Jigging
Ice Jigging
Ice Jigging is an interactive lure-physics and fish-behavior workbench for hard-water ice anglers, fishing guides, and tackle-shop educators who want to understand WHY a jig works instead of just timing holes. Instead of a safety/logistics console, the app models the physical science beneath the ice: how fast a jig actually sinks and flutters, how far daylight penetrates through snow-covered ice at different times of day, and which lure colors stay visible at that depth. Anglers build a personal 'confidence pattern' library from real catches, cross-referenced against a built-in species atlas of walleye, pike, perch, crappie, and lake trout behavior.
