    My wife and I had a chance to hit the ice this morning for about a hour. We caught quite a spectrum of fish, crappie, bluegill, and bass. Probably caught 15 fish, mostly bluegill, and crappie. Small jigs tipped with gulp or spike for the panfish, and a go devil, (red glow, ) with a red shiner head for the bass. We were fishing in 10 FOW, and crappies were roaming at 5 FOW. Bass and bluegills were on the bottom.

    Thanks Rob- Yeah, somehow she always ends up with that hat. Thats ok, at least she comes with!! The ice is about eight inches thick, good clear ice too. Every lake that I have been to, is the same as well. I have also used the snowmobile pulling the shack around..so it is safe where I have been. Scott, I know, it was too early in the morning for smiling. I think I was tired…

    Nice gill. Them pigs are a blast to tussle with!
    That bass had to be a blast also. I bet it looked like 20 pounds of mouth coming up in the hole

    Dave, I have a few spots on that lake that I never see anybody fishing, ever, not open water, or hard water. That is where she caught that gill, and there are a bunch of them there. Bret- Yeah it was big, the same spot the day before, I had one twice that big up the whole, and then it broke my favorite jigging spoon, I had my hand almost in his mouth, and back down he went. ARH!!
