Wow nice job those are some beautiful smallies! I've only ever caught a few smaller ones through the ice. Do the big ones still pull like a freight train in the cold water?

Might be small pike by most standards but I'll take chunkers like that 2nd picture all day long. Looks like the Sallies were hungry. Great job with the bronze backs

Awesome job!  The place is feast or famine and you feasted for sure.

Was hoping to end the day with a big pike. Watched a big one on my cam grab the bait, swim out of frame and then spit the bait! Never tripped the flag. Definitely one of those lucky days

Guys I'll tell ya, I got into the flouro deal this year, half the fish we caught were on steel leaders tied right to the tip up line!!!  I run big baits, everyone else was running store bought shiners.3 people with flouro 2 with steel. The steels guys had more flags. I don't kno if it was just a good day for bites or if we're all suckers to the latest and greatest in the fishing world lol

Went there this passed Sunday after meeting up with bog trotter,  what depths were you set up at,  I know it drops off quick from the shore.  Also any tips on getting crappies at night there?

Nice work with the variety of fish and great colors on the smallest. Good to see that everyone catching some nice ones.

Mogl we were set up anywhere from 5 to 25 ft. Had flags at all depths. I havnt tried for crappies out there but I'd think to the right of the boat launch would be better for em. Nice drop off connecting to a big Mudd flat
