My buddy brandon baum and i made it out on pool 8 saturday for an all day ice adventure. Since we had not been ice fishing as much as we usually do due to open water walleye fishing we didnt really know where we wanted to go. The alarm rang at 615 and we were off. The plan for today was to go to a community hole and catch a few nice crappies and gills for the pan. once we arrived to the spot we set up on a nice little drop off that goes from about 6-18 feet in about 15 yards we punched a bunch of holes got on some fish and hunkerd down for the time being. At first we were only catching gills and all at once the school of what we were looking for moved right on threw and man were they on a feeding frenzie. 4 of the keeper crappies that we got came within 10 mins of eachother man was that a fun ten mins. after we decided we had enough for the fish fry we played catch and release for a little while and headed home. Had a great time on the ice again with my buddy brandon.
