got out today for a little morning fishing. with the cold weather i thought i would hit a very good early ice spot. the spot is fairly deep for me at 10′. crept out very slowly checking every couple of steps. drilled the first hole finding 3 inches of good ice. dropped the lx-5 down and found the bottom 2′ lit up. had a very good day to say the least. ended up with 15 crappies 8 gills and 2 perch. i kept those fish so i can donate them to the local elks lodge annual cerebral palsy fish fry. my youngest daughter suffers from a mild form of cp so im trying to help. hot bait was a purple 4mm fiskas tipped with leafworms. they wouldnt touch waxies or spikes. biggest crappies were 13″ mostly white crappies. all the big crappies cpr’d. sorry no pics next time. dan
