Fished Nettle today from 8am to 5 pm. Tough bite.
Drilled close to 60 holes today. Fished from 3' to 25'. Lots of lookers this morning but no takers. 3 of us fishing. Finally went to my go to spot in 25' this afternoon and started marking consistently at 18' Ice was 7-1/2" in the hole. Rest of ice was 4-1/2" plus. Open water in the middle from geese. A lot of lookers and followers but few takers. Used white, blue, green, red, yellow, pink, black, etc. Plastics, wax, spikes and minnows. Finally they hit on orange teardrop with spikes. Not a single taker on minnows. Ended up with 3 keeper gills and 1 - 9" crappie and 10 dink gills. Dropped the AquaVu down and about 4' of visibility. No one else on lake until 3 pm when 2 other fisherman showed up and went where we were in the morning, then about 4 pm two ice skaters showed up. Planning to give it another shot in the morning.
