Jamie, myself, and a few other friends hit a new lake yesterday that Jamie thought might be promising. At less then 100 acres we were able to spread out and search for fish. We had to drill a ton of holes as there’s no lake map for this one. I was ready to hit a different lake when Jamie caught the first gill around 3/4 lb. They were in the 15ft to 20ft range in tight schools. The morning bite lasted maybe 15 minutes and went dead for the rest of the day. We stuck it out for the evening bite and were rewarded greatly. Average size was over 9.5″ with fish going into the 1 lb range. Plastics and meat both put fish on the ice. ALL fish were released. I’m betting late ice is going to be phenomenal!
