A friend of mine made it out today and caught 5 nice 10 inch black crappies. They got another 30 dinks between 5 to 8 inches, and missed another 30 bites. Got to love fishing for them papermouths. The bite was on from 3 o'clock till dark. After it got dark they stayed another hour and didnt get another bite. In my opinion I usually dont even see the fish on my vex until a hour after dark most of the times. There was another guy that had a 18 inch walleye. A different guy was targeting gills with a ness . There were a total of about 6 groups of guys on the ice tonight. There was 2 inches of slop ice 2 inches of sluch/ water, than 2 inches of solid blue on the bottom. Still a bit thin 4 me. Especially when we are to get rain in the forcast on Saturday. Looks like I will get my Christmas wish- to be on the ice before the end of 2007. GOOD LUCK.
