newb to the site
« on: Jan 04, 2015, 12:25 PM »
After trolling for some info on the site over the last year or so, I figured i could finally contribute a little bit.  I've been moving around (for school) quite a bit over the last 8 years and have been fortunate enough to ice fish Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, South Dakota, and now Iowa.   Based out of the ames area, I look forward to swapping info with you guys.

Today's report: Kept 15 nice gills and 3 crappies, pitched a bunch more back.  Only saw 1 other shack on the lake.  Majority came on wax worms, but when the bite slowed down, plastics gained the upper hand.  6'' of ice fairly consistently.

Thanks guys,

I hit hickory grove this morning for a few hours.  Will likely be back out there in the A.M.
