Slow day

[Digs]

4 of us went out and 1 of us caught a couple...... The ice was unnerving. 5 inches of soft frozen slush ice. Marked fish here and there and had a couple touches but not much action today. My son got these two back to back early.

Nice work…...I had similar ice conditions where I was fishing….2” of a slushy slop and 6” of solid
ice under that

Fishing was slow for me, too.  They weren't super fired up.  I thought it might be better w/ light passing rain showers & storm front approaching....nope!

6" of good ice where I was, but 2" of slush on top made it very sloppy (& wet).  My sled started filling w/ water - what a mess.   

Glad you didn't go for a swim on the soft, frozen slush ice.  I looked at some other ice on my way north & looked very sketchy - didn't see anyone else out.

Some cold coming next week should firm things up (before the next storm)....

Nice lakers!

Yesterday was interesting day for us as well. Fished an area we fished the previous week where we caught a lot of lakers on tips up (practically all out of 1 hole) and a smallie. We also jigged up two lakers.

Yesterday we had 6 tip ups out all day with smelt and caught 1 gigantic yellow perch. 14.5” and 1.4lbs. We then caught 10 lakers jigging and 1 decent cusk. Weird day.

Horrible days for us yesterday, 3 guys 1 garmin livescope unit and a garmin panoptix unit and miles of ground covered looking for white perch on winni, we found 1 school of whites and they were gone in a hurry, lakers wanted nothing from us either, we threw everything but the kitchen sink at then and nothing more than a quick look and gone.
1 smallie, that's all we had to show for a whole day.

Wicked slow day for Lakers yesterday as well. Ice was as variable as ever from 4 inches with some slush on top and mostly black ice under up to almost 9 inches where we set up.
Marked probably a dozen Lakers through the day, mostly uncooperative. A couple charged jigs as fast as I could reel but wouldn't commit to anything I tied on.
That's the way it goes fishing for Lakers sometimes I guess, especially where l was fishing. Try again next weekend

Saw a couple Lakers eating some perch on the underwater camera which was kind of cool I suppose

Slow day for me, in southern nh. Not even a single flag, had about 5" of ice that started turning into slush

I found super sketchy ice too, small pond around Monadnock. Packed light and spudded my way out but started putting the spud through in 2 hits before I got to fishable waters... Time to start driving north...
