When we went out on saturday I was using wigglers for the first time.... My dad and uncle were using mouseys and spikes. I noticed that my bite was alot harder than with the other bait. Although I only put 3 on the ice, I did catch 5 largemouth after I had given up on gills. So pretty much I would say this year is starting to look like last years ice season, slow slow light bites (if any)..
