i dont know about anyone else but the past few days have been awesome. yesterday i did caught 8 or 9 perch and bass, nailed a nice one measured 22 inchs so thats a 5 or 6 lber. oo yea and i caught 2 bass on steel leaders with a dead sucker.. weird. today i set up shallow ( 3 -4 ft) for pike. caught 2 biggest was 33inchs, but i missed way to many fish. i had 2 and 3 flags up at once, everytime the reel was screaming it was enough fun to not really care about the missed fished. nows the time to get em the ice will be gone before we know it
