I got my limit mon from around 6:30 am - 7:30 am, if you get there @ 8 your late and if you leave b4 5pm you left too early. This is a typical year for the bite, once the creeks and rivers freeze hard and the incoming water slows, so does the bite, when it warms a bit for a couple of days and we get new water moving under the ice ,look out the bite should really take off.When I got my limit mon. I walked around afterwards talked to several guys I only saw 1 other fish, could've been the vex, the bait or maybe just the right spot, i fished righ on the break 5fow in 1 hole and 8 in the other.
