No Tigers or Trout brought in . 1 entry for panfish. I will say they were eating, our crew probably iced 20 Tigers, and Ace's group got a bunch also, no keepers though. I'll tell you how these things eat, I caught a 28" , 50 yards south of our set up,  he swallowed hook good and didn't have my spreaders on me so cut the line. Retied the tip up about an hour later put biggest shiner I had, set the tip up 50 yards north, hit right off the bat, 28" swallowed, had spreaders, pulled both of my#4 hooks with 20 # floro out of his guy thru gills. Crazy. Shore was getting a little sketchy.

not sure if  you know  how to do this  nor if i can explain it you can google   it ....when a  fish swallows the  hook  you can open his gill plate gently and  remove the  hook taking it out threw the  gills most of the time with no harm to the fish ,i have done this many times now ....it's well worth learning how

Thinking of going out tomorrow. Should I come from a camp next to the restaurant or the county park to the main lake. Didn’t have time to check it out today after work. Thanks

Manny, the west side shore was a little open from the run off down the hill but I think you'll be fine, just a 2 or 3 feet step over the edge. Good luck

Went out today. I left around two and the ice was getting soft. Three hits no fish but glad I was out fishing instead of work! Tight lines

i honestly can't tell you i won't be fishing otisco at all this  year  they  think  cutting the limit to 15 will help make  gaint blue  gills i'll donate  my 15 but  i wont  be  buying lunch or gas there either so the state loses  tax money sorry to all the people i did  business with over that way
