Kids, don't u have friends?
I was fishing about 25 FOW and 18in of ice..Would definitely shoot for before sun up...After about 10:30AM everything really slows down..I never do good during the day.
Buz, that mucus is an infection called IC or ICk I'm pretty sure. It eventually kills the fish. I've seen fish in toga before with this. Bass, pike, perch, and eyes. In late stages they will float on the surface an be nearly lifeless. I researched it years ago. I think that it spreads to other fish. I wouldn't throw any fish back with this, personally. As to the main post, listen to the guys using lights near weeds. Crappie and rock bass are hot this time of year. Funny how no one sees each other out at night, because I know u guys aren't alone.
Was anyone out off of fitch today hoping to go tomorrow afternoon. Just wondering if the rain hurt the shore line at all?
