Went to Lake Zumbro today with Ron (RHW), Brian (Briank), and Greg. We worked the 25 FOW areas near highbanks. Most fish were uncooperative. We saw fish all day and they would rise up to the bait, but not many were biters. We did end up with a nice mess a of fish though! 
Best baits were small jigs tipped with a waxie, but minnows produced some crappies.
Here is a picture of Ron and Brian with a few fish.
Greg with a big stripped bass.
Ron with a nice gill.
Greg with a couple nice crappies.
Boy…I’ll tell ya…Talk about a rough life. Yes guys, you bet I’m jealous. 
Thanks for the report with PICS. 
What colors and type of jigs worked best for you today?
Thanks, Bill
Hey Mike,
You do know those camera thingys usually come with a “Focus” button 
Hey Jake, when are you going to get back to focusing on fishin again instead of all your time being focused on the little woman? 
You have been missed Bud.
Thanks, Bill

Yes, a bit out of focus. It’s an older model that doesn’t have a preview screen so I didn’t realize that I had it set on the wrong setting….. Will try to do better next time! At least I didn’t get my finger in any of the shots!
Jake, there was nothing wrong with the focus. Everytime Ron and Greg pulled in a fish it made the FEW that he caught..look … well, look small… After the 4th or 10th time…Mike was shaking so badly he would have made James Bond smile had he been making martini’s.
Good fishing, good time, and a new friend!
Great report guys,nice to see you did alright on the fish.
Keep it up!
Don
Yes, it was a good time. Great to meet Greg, a nice guy who knows how to ice fish. Always fun to spend time with Brian, good sense of humor and a top stick. Glad that guy didn’t run you over Brian, Mike and Greg with his pickup truck and smosh your fish. That is another story. The four of us almost beat the crap out of a inconsiderate and careless individual who barely missed Mike, Brian and Greg by only a foot with his PU. The fish were and are there. One just has to have patience and wait them out. Minnows landed the biggest and most crappies. The gills were very nice sized and the biggest went 9 inches. The four of us bantered about who was catching the most and largest, however after all was said and done, we each caught the same numbers and sizes. 25 feet of water like Mike said. Fish were tight too the bottom. Raise your jig a foot and watch em peel off the bottom and come up, take a look and only to fade away. The few dumber ones would hit her hard. Which color to use, hard to say since there were four of us and each used something different. If you decide to go out there and try it, take along, waxworms, minnows and an assortment of jigs and don’t forget to bring the patience.
