Indian 1/22
« on: January 22, 2018, 05:22:54 PM »

Fished Indian this morning from 745 to noon. Caught 1 17 inch eye. Lost 2 more. 7 or 8 crappie. Wasnt gonna keep any but that eye inhaled a vibe and was bleeding like crazy so I started throwing them in the bucket. Ended up giving them to an old man that said he'd been fishing for 3 days and only had 9 crappie to show for it. My buddy wasn't doing very well and wanted to quit so I left with him. Didn't want to stay out alone with the ice conditions and it was getting ready to rain. Lots of melting. Down to around 6 inches. Many holes drilled this weekend are melted out and really hard to see. I almost stepped in one that my size 13 boot would have easily fit in. Really getting soft on top too. Edges were still holding when I left but one hit with a spud was going in 2 or 3 inches and lots of water on top. I don't know that they'll last. Think I'm done unless we get another cold snap. Not optimistic but it's ohio...you never know

Glad you made it out 1 more time and got a few fish. More important, you made it back in. Figured the rain would spell doom for the ice.

It looked pretty sad out there tonight when I drove home from work. Lots of melt, lots of open water. Glad you got out and caught fish though.....!

Update: It just started raining pretty hard as they forecasted...I think that’s it...
