I use a lot of the standard glow tear drop ice jigs when fishing with a light. I usually tip with a b-moth of a spike. I have had good luck at times with slender spoons also, especially on crappie. I always have a bobber and either worm or minnow out on the edges of the light. Most of the times i have my light down about 2-4'. I also hang a lantern on the side of the boat. I feel this gives a lot of light out over the water as well as helps just seeing in general in the boat. Plus I like my white gas lanterns. The downside is it draws in a lot of bugs in the summer, sometimes they can be a bit annoying.
