Went out today first time. Fished 3 hours caught 14 drink perch and 1 keeper that I,didn't keep. Ice is about 5-6 inches north of crystal. There were some brave out on what they said was bout 3 . Hope it holds up through this warm spell I,doubt it. Got to try my flasher I'm sure I would have caught fewer fish without it.I miss those slammers that I used to get but I will save that for a post on the commercial fishing string .
