Got on the ice with my open water fishing partner. First time ice fishing together. Ice was 4.5 inches thick and very clear. Partner got two perch and a gill, all small. I moved around a bit as i am prone to do. I ended up with one 11 inch crappie, one small gill, and two decent 10 inch perch. All still swimming. Needless to say we are both a little rusty. We kept it short fished for 2. 5 hours. Was nice to get out.
