I just went over to take a look and get some bait so I wouldn't have to worry about it in the morning.  I went to Levans and got regular spikes and red spikes.  I went across the street to Mikes and had a long conversation with hiim.  He's a quality guy it seems.  I didn't have much cash with me nd he doesn't take credit so I only bought a couple of things and he threw in some glow jigs as well.  Anyhow, I went to Blackhawk and there weren't a lot of folks out on the ice there.  A few shanties, maybe 4 and a few pairs of people.  I saw one bluegill caught not terribly far from the end of the docks.  I went on out toward where I saw a couple of shanties and tried to jig for eye's but didn't hook up with any.

On another note, when I was leaving I went over to the shanties who were also getting off the ice and I saw something that wasn't very cool but I didn't say anything.  These guys had caught a bunch of gills over two days and kept some very marginal fish.  As the one guy was putting them in his bucket he would throw the small ones, dead, back in the hole.  Kinda made me a little sick since they weren't released when they were caught if they were marginal.  Oh well, hopefully tomorrow will be a great experience.  I'm stoked to get out and meet some of you.

I was wondering if anyone has seen mousee's this season?  I talked with LeVans and they didn't get many because of some problem with the harvest or something.  I didn't see any when I was over in Indiana fishing either.  I'm heading to Indian for the event in the morning and would like to have some good bait.  Right now I only have some poor wax worms which look pitiful.

Thanks!

A buddy and I went last evening.  We started to the back of the cove behind the marina.  Ice was about 3-5" depending.  I'm not confident in my electronics quite yet but I marked some bait in the mid water column.  We moved off the marina docks and only had one strike the entire night.

I'm heading over to take a look at Indian after work and will pick up some bait for tomorrow as well.

Someone was coming in as I left yesterday.  I didn't venture out on the ice but did check it out.  I am going to try and hit it somewhere after work today, in about an hour, at Alum.

I almost went out and checked some ice yesterday but didn't have my boots or creepers so I decided against it.  I'm glad to hear your alright and didn't get wet.  I'm going to give it a try after work today unless something blows up here in the next hour.

I'll probably not fish it for a few days anyhow but was curious.
Thanks!

All of these ideas seem like good ones I should possibly try.
Maybe one day when I get my things together good enough.
