Ice conditions are not favorable. Been a long time since we were still danc’n with the devil in late December ice on 9. 2006 to be exact. Measured 3.25″ in 4 out of the 6 holes I drilled this morning. Didn’t measure the other 2. When the suns rays finally fake out the river bluff by mid morning ~ that little radiant kiss gets the top layer slippery in a hurry. Lot of moaning & groaning with cracks shooting in a multitude of directions.
Walleye: Finding some willing fish but can’t seem to unlock the 20 incher code. Everything has been 17″ on down.
Perch: Schooling through at various rates throughout the mornings. Size has been okay but mostly 8″ to 9″ males. Couple belley busting females this morning.
Crappie: Still luv the Cecils. Monday gold was the ticket. Today purple. Last Friday two tone purple/pink.
Wasn’t going to keep anything this morning until a walleye decided to swallow without chewing. Scrammbled to pick up a few grease mates.
