Got sort of a late start this AM but made it out on the ice with my son Nick. 4 to 5 inches of ice. Set up in around 6 FOW and immediately started pulling bluegills. We ended up with 60+ fish (lost count) but most were dinks. Did get a small pike or muskie... had no marks on it so I'm thinking muskie. Moved around a couple times but could only weed out 12 or so keepers. All fish were released.
Great day to be out. There were 8 or 10 others out too. Silver was the hot color, along with chartruse. We used wax worms.

Take a kid fishing and pass it on.

Seems to be the norm, haven't heard of any great takes up here yet.  Hope to get some later this week.  I think I might try Nimisilla.  Usually can get some keepers there.
