    After reading Daves report on pool 10 I thought another full report wasn’t quite needed.
    My son Cam and myself had a chance to slip out for a few hrs.early this afternoon.
    To echo Mr. Koonces report, the specks were on a tear!
    The first hour after arriving was an old fasioned shoot out with little cecils being the main weapon.
    After icing 3 straight Cam came sprinting over to find out the hot bait. I had him tie on a glo chartreuse cecil and all of a sudden, Cams day was made. He tried like heck to out fish Dad but I had a pretty good lead
    Late afternoon the weather grew darker,wind shifted due north,snow was being spit and the temps plummeted. Yep, end of that bite.
    Started working the bottom hugging gills the rest of the day. Tiny purests, gillpills and moonglos with a small waxie enticed some dandy gills. Pounding the jig on the bottom for fifteen-twenty seconds then raising it up an inch or two produced the bites. The second you let the bait sit still for too long though, the marks would vanish.
    As Dave said, you had to keep it moving.
    Everyday is different.

    The ice recovered very well from last week-ends slushathon.
    Never busted through the skim at all leaving for comfortable travel. Cold weather tonight will really shore up a few things.
    Hit the river guys, the bite is happening

    NICE! Those are a blast to pull through the ice on a Pulsator! I especially enjoy the on-ice photos. In trying to figure out where you were

    Haven’t used the pulsator yet this season. I modified an ulta lite spinning rig. Pulsators are awesome don’t get me wrong but I like something with a good drag system,something the in handle reels don’t offer on the pulsator

    You’re the second guy to try to figure out the local.
    The spotlight pics take away alot of the background.
    Actually, to be exact……I was on pool 10

    Had an entire backwater to myself this morning. The crappies were active for that first half hr. This horse absolutley inhaled my gill pill with bait and teaser tail. A good finesse bait that can really trigger the panfish when they get finicky. Largest slab of the season…..cprd to let someone else have a shot at her
