Had to try three places this morning to get on the ice , started at Bashan, ramp had no ice but the lake looked good, couldn’t find a spot to get on. Uncas was open all over, Beseck public ramp looked like an icy giant truck trap! Plus the area by the dam was pretty packed. Ended up at black pond in Meriden, some nice pickeral, bass, a nice perch, and a huge croppie, persistance paid off!
