Not much bait around, or I'd consider one last trip Saturday...

There must be bait somewhere.....  I know Holden Bait has some.

Still Plenty of water to fish all around there. Everything else is open ice fishing. Be sure to check the rule book for special laws on specific waters you might want to fish.  :tipup: :icefish:

Anyway....I’m going up iiirrreefreakinggardle ss! I’ll fish Compass if things work that way.  ;D

Word from the mouth of a Sgt. Warden I know was, "if it was open on March 31, it is open until April 16th."  I am liking it, but it wasn't a very well thought out plan........
