Yep, it's Mid-Season and it's time to start drillin' alot of holes and doing alot of searchin'... no more comfy 4 hrs sets at one particular spot.
It's hunt 'em, find 'em & catch 'em otherwise it's most likely empty buckets!

Light activity on Ladue for Friday 1/28. 1 shanty at the boathouse, 1 shanty off Valley Rd & 2 shanty's off St Rt 44 Boathlaunch (fishing East).
Spoke with the 2 guys coming off Valley Rd. Slow bite. Only caught a handful of gills, but they were very nice size gills.

You were the only fisherman on Ladue Thursday 1/27., Saw you when I pulled into the parking lot near noon and took a break.
How was the walk...was there alot of slush on the ice?
There were a few guys at Punderson and 1 guy at Aquilla.

Turkeyfoot Weds 1/26 and Thursday 1/27:
Fished for 2 hrs both days: 4:30PM to 6:30PM
Weds: Solo Fished, caught 16 and cleaned 6... nothing to brag about
Thurs: Fished with Ed, caught 35+ fish, all dinks... we didnt take home a keeper
The panfish were biting extremely lite... lots of lookers & snifers.
Thinking the "Mid-Season Bite" is upon us and the larger fish moved to deeper waters. Will most likely start drilling holes in deeper sections of Turkeyfoot in hopes of finding supsended Gills, Crappie & Perch.

1 Shanty on the ice at 9:30 am. Walked out, introduced myself & to spoke Ray. He had 25 panfish on the ice. , 4 specieds: Gills, Red-ears, Crappie and Perch. Decent size, but no hogs.
LOTS OF SLUSH ON THE ICE MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO WALK.

Note of Caution:

Checked the ice conditions at Portage Lakes Saturday afternoon, 1/22 before deciding to venture out early Sunday morning, 1/23. (This past weeks reports of lowered water levels had me spooked).
Ice looked good... normal. We were on the ice by 7:30 with my son, Nate and fellow gray-beard icer, Ed. Nate & I had a tough day and decided to try to find suspended perch or crappie in the large section of Turkeyfoot Lake. After a dozen holes, no luck and we returned to our original spots. Ed had a hot hole all day long. He fished till noon taking home 52 gills while Nathan & I caught 42 and took home only 11. Ed caught a few nice 9" hog bluegill while both Nathan & me were hitting "munchin land" gills. Nthan did catch 4 nice crappie, but Ed blitzed us today.
It was cold, but fun. Got home in time to clean up, watch the football games and fillet our fish.

During "Mid-Ice, the fish will move from the shallow waters to deeper waters and suspend at various depths. These mid-season conditions require alot of moving, hole drilling and searching for our prey. Once the area has been drilled and checked, one can always return to those holes in the hopes of "ambushing" traveling schools.
