Hello all. New to the site and live in NWI. Had a very productive weekend at willow slough evening bite has been hot. This is my tenth year ice fishing the slough. Hoping to learn some new tricks on here. Anyone heading out to the slough Wednesday morning?

You noticed that. Its amazing how that lake keeps producing big gills.  There is one hole I have for crappie but I only fish that spot during week when lake is dead. I have caught some monster northern out there but never through ice.
