I did good today. Drilled one hole, caught a bunch of blugills. Dropped 16 off at the baitshop. Only reason I fished was because my daughter had show choir in Spirit Lake and I was going to be there by myself. So I decided to fish beforehand. You can drive every where that I have seen. I doubt color matters but I had pink on today

Thanks for the report! I usually wear a black hoodie when I icefish, but to each their own! ;D

Where did you fish? We partied till 3:00 am and got up super late. Finally made it or t to Spirit and did ok on perch.
Getting some rest now and will head out in search of gills or yellows

I fished in my ice shack. I caught some nice bluegills on the north end of west. I drove out in the middle, drilled a hole and started catching fish. How deep? 14 maybe. I followed the trail and when I got in the middl of everyone, I stopped.
Don't judge my pink clothes. You dress like Johnny Cash. I dress like new country, rainbow colors.

Fishing was a little slower today for size but still strong for numbers. I did get a heck of a nice pike, maybe 28". I caught a bunch of crappies but mostly around 8" and I throw those back. Still able to get around with a pickup ok on Smith Bay.

Fishing mainly smiths?
Headed up that way to fish Thursday-Sunday. Planning to fish spirit for perch part of a day then hop around. Wish the first post hadn’t got deleted that was some pretty good info! Usually have success on perch but I would like to get into some crappies somewhere. Any advice would be great!
Thanks

I noticed some dudes fishing with longer rods...maybe 48" without reels. Pretty interesting. We were only in about 5 FOW. What are those rods called?
-
You see Wisconsin guys using them long rods. I dont understand the reason for them. I use 16 and 19 inch rods. If you are at Okoboji in March, it is sometimes 95% Wisconsin guys with them long rods. Strange.

Ha ha guess where they were from?!
Kansas dudes use open water rods and reels -- one in each hand!

Anyone who went out today must be awful hungry for fish. As hungry as Homer when he got kicked out of The Frying Dutchman and then went fishing.

i went out this morning down here and the wind was brutal. everybody bailed on me so i fished alone with no wind break. all i could hear in my head is my dad saying if you are going to do stupid stuff you better be tough. paid off tho with some decent crappie and gills.

I would have gone out if I lived close but an hour drive and then fight the wind, I'd rather watch Netflix and take a nap. Be plenty of fishing in late March.
