Fished with my 8 year son today. Lots of guys on ice with kids great to see. We fished across from boat launch Started drilling holes 3/4 way across. 6-7 in. As I got to the point ne'er the cove ice was 4 to 3.5. My son got the first flag 16.5 brown. Slow day but making memories. We jig up some very small perch. Nothing is better than a kid face/smile when they land a fish through the ice
