Nice! Only managed a few small bluegills each outing here. Did lose one decent bass at the bottom of the hole yesterday. I wasn't expecting great fishing though. The more productive spots were under thin ice on my ponds. They're all frozen really unevenly right now around here.
Arquero3d:
Gonna try again tomorrow. Best of luck if you get out!
Arquero3d:
Took the boys (6 & 8) out today. Caught 19 crappie, 2 perch, and a nice red-ear. The 6-yr-old ruled the day with his only catch...a 14" crappie! That's what I get for letting him have my hole and flasher for 2 minutes while I went back across the pond for the ice dipper!
3.5" of ice.

Did better than me... I got skunked. The ice was about 4" with soft edges this morning, but the melting snow and slush on top had it down to 3-3.5" by the time I went out around 230pm. I saw several gills through the hole, but just couldn't get them to hit anything I put down at all.
