I moved this thread to the Indiana section from the general ice fishing picture thread. So I hope everyone enjoys...

My first outing 12-28-2010{finally} did not do bad, but not real good either. Did manage to get some up on the ice though....

released this one, figured it had been through enough already...{dorsal fin}

Very nice.

Nice fish, nice spot. Gave it away with the one picture. Great size fish there, but not as good a bite as in years past. I saw the picture of the 16" and wondered if I had been fishing near you guys over the last couple weeks. Got a 17.5" two years back. I know there are bigger. Hope I get it, but I'm looking forward to the picture if one of you guys lands it. TIGHT LINES.

neinicefisher · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 08, 2011, 08:37 AM »

Nice specs. I recognize that spot as well. There is a good chance I have been out there at the same time and just didn't know who you were.

PoleCat · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 08, 2011, 11:46 AM »

Well come to the conclusion that I hold my mouth better before daybreak. I had to work for everyone I got up on the ice, but it was all worth it....

the brutes of the day...

finally count on the ice was 22. Just could not get those last 3 to bite..

river_scum · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 08, 2011, 02:21 PM »

once again way to go cuz!!

taggedfish · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 08, 2011, 03:22 PM »

think I recognize that sink

PoleCat · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 10, 2011, 07:05 PM »

Went out right after work with no success. I got 2 up on the ice, but it was all worth the time & effort. To enjoy all the great bounties that God created.

Fishslayer81 · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 10, 2011, 11:15 PM »

Yea those hot crappie bites never seem to last long. I limited out dec 19th,20th,24th, than it steadily declined... but hey it was fun while it lasted.

PoleCat · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 13, 2011, 10:52 AM »

Well I hit the ice right after work to find out I had forgotten my minnows...so it was time to target some gills. Bite was real tough this morning but I did get a few keepers...

I had 4 more that were in the 7" range...

river_scum · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 13, 2011, 03:10 PM »

solid gills there cuz

my minnows are going to die of old age before they get back out.

keep those holes open for me.

Hog Daddy · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 13, 2011, 03:19 PM »

Very nice. You needed a break from the hog crappie. Great pics.

HHD

PoleCat · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 27, 2011, 10:57 PM »

well I finally made it out on the ice after getting moved to a different shift $:-\$ The bite was very hard. Had all my electronics in the water. Marked them & seen them on camera. Tough bite thats for sure. But I got a few up on the ice...

would have liked 25 more of these....

river_scum · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 28, 2011, 10:21 AM »

nice ones man!

goathead · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 28, 2011, 02:58 PM »

this looks like lake louise slabs I used to catch when my mom was still living at shorewood, am I right? Manny

PoleCat · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 31, 2011, 08:11 AM »

No goathead not from lake Louise. These come from Hamilton....

PoleCat · « **Reply #28 on:** Feb 19, 2011, 01:00 AM »

Well just came off the ice, what a night. Got on the ice @ 11pm temp was 47 & wind was a howling $:-\$ Had trouble locating the crappie when I finally got a few holes with marks nobody was hungry. I did manage to walk off the ice about 1:30am & the temp was 34. Got 5 silver babies. 1 that was around 14"

enough for lunch...
