my 2 sons here for a late x-mas my oldest wanted to go 2 elwood since he got me ice fishing last year so we headed out around 10pm we fished till 2:30am only marked 2 fish & walked 3 plus miles trying to find them ice was 6-8" thick everywhere we drilled dropped boys off & i went to sandy channel (elm creek) to finish the night out i should of just stayed @ the houuse & went to bed nothing biting there either

I fished Elwood in October and it was totally different from 2011. 

I caught lots of nice crappie during three days on the lake in 2011, and spent a full day this year and did not catch a fish. . .I was told while loading boat that everything was really shallow that day.

If a guy could land on them, crappie & perch should provide some action, I would think.  Glad to hear about the great ice!

ya there's no doubt there's nice fish i myself have caught nice ones just hoping i can find them again and get some up threw the ice

I was just about to start a thread to see if anyone had tried Elwood yet. We were thinking about going on Tuesday.  Thanks for the report! How were you fishing? Did you try any slabs/ spoons?
I was thinking of running some tip ups for pike and slabbing for wipers & anything else.
