The forecast looks promising for ice, but I just couldn't wait any more... I grabbed my Heritage and strapped on some water wings

We fished from 6:30 to 1 yesterday in the drizzle and wind but it was worth it. We jigged up a bunch or crappie for dinner and boated 6 pike on big baits, could have had more but ran out of bait

I have a personal stash of aver 100 pond shiners and for some stupid reason only brought 9 of them

Anyways, here are a couple of pics of our better pike on floating tip ups...
