If you like feeding pigeons in the park maybe make the 3.5 hour drive over to HG. Caught fish consistently from 8:30 - 4. 75-100? Kept 4. 1-really nice Toad ; 1-8” and two others that were marginal but they wouldn’t drop back down in 32 FOW...needed some eyes anyway. Also released 6 snot rockets and a Crappie. Not worth the drive yet but will give it another shot tomorrow.
4-5” of good really solid ice where I went but neither HG or RG is locked. A few guys on RG between ramp and island but lots of open water over there. Fished from 14’ to 32’. Lake bed was just paved with 5” fish. As fast as you dropped it down you were hooked up. Tried bigger gear (tumblers, kastys, slenders, pilky’s etc) did not keep the dinks at bay Punched 35 - 40 holes. Not a flag on the tip all day.
