I managed to get out on a little lake close to my house the past 2 nights. The results weren’t great, but I was fishing! 
I walked out with a spud the 1st night. I found 7-1/2″ of ice close to shore and 6″ in the main lake.
The 1st night I got maybe 6-7 smaller blue gills and 1 crappie that went around 12″ and lost another at the hole, and a small northern.
Tonight I took my almost 7 year old daughter with in the wet heavy snow. I was unaware that she could talk and hum that much! haha The fish bit a little better tonight. We ended up with maybe a dozen small gills and 3 crappies and a northern. Of course I only reeled in about 3 fish. Minnows caught a few and waxies got most all of the gills.
Around here we got 4-5″ of very wet, heavy snow. Inside the Otter tonight there was probably a inch of water on the ice. There were wet spots on the lake that weren’t there yesterday. Hopefully we get a little colder weather pretty soon with not much for snow. I will add a couple pics of my daughter. As you can tell she doesn’t like holding northerns, but she looked cute doing it! The crappie pic was ” Hurry up dad this is heavy” haha We had a good time!
