Title: 1/11/18 Take 2
Post by: slabslayer on January 11, 2018, 06:40:01 PM

Back at it today. Everything the same as yesterday as far as fish and locations. Only difference was less crappie and more bass.  Got some really nice bass. If I was in a tournament I’d probably have weighed in about 15 pounds.  Ice was slicker than snot, deteriorating only slightly.  It was holding at least 8” plus.  Just felt good getting some big ones again!!

There are massive crappie in that place. If you know where to look!  One of my favorite ice fishing spots.  Especially when catching a 3-4 pound bass is always a good possibility.

I think it’ll depend on snow totals.  If we don’t get a lot of snow, I think by Sunday morning it’ll be fishable. Every time I check the forecast it’s something different.  Well know by tomorrow morning what the ice will be like long term.

Same here.  Everything, both my trucks, driveway, trees are all encased in ice.  I wish we wouldn’t get any snow, just an ice storm and we’d be ok for sure!
