I fished Ladue for about 3 hours today. Only my second time being on the ice and I had a blast. I only caught 3 (2 gills and a yellow perch), but from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM it was non-stop action. I was fishing about 7-8 fow and setting the bait about 6-12" off the bottom. Practically every drop as soon as I got the bait in place I was getting hits. I probably needed to downsize my jig to improve my catch rate, but I was fishing the smallest one I had with me.
What are the chances the ice will still be safe after we have a few days of warm weather this week?
