took another trip to Johnson yesterday, and absolutely cleaned house with over 125 fish landed between me and my buddy.
average size for bluegill was about 7", the biggest was 8". we also caught a few trout, a couple perch, and a nice little 9" largemouth.
a couple of the trout we caught were lucky to be alive, with big ol' muskie bite wounds on them, one was still bleeding. we measured one of the bite marks to be about 5" wide, so there's some really good muskie in there, and they're feeding on 8" to 10" trout.
there's about 10" of good clear ice under 2" of white ice, with 4" of slush and water on top (waterproof boots are a must, and snowshoes would be handy as well). old holes from more than a week ago are still not frozen over, so be very careful out there.
the road should be pretty passable for most vehicles, though it can get a bit rough in spots. if you have 4 wheel drive you'll have no trouble whatsoever.
i'll probably try and make at least one more trip out there this year, but if this weather keeps up i may have to pack away my ice gear early.
