Fished today with Knucklehead. Weather was warm, windy, and foggy. We fished East of public access. Started out in 15 fow and went to about 18 and worked our way back to 8. Marked plenty of fish but they had lockjaw with this front moving thru. Most fish tight to bottom in all depths. Would come up and look at bait and disappear. Knucklehead scratched out one small bass and I managed 1 dink gill. We didn't get skunked. Water was stained and saw no one else on the ice. Used teardrops, jigs, spoons and blades tipped with waxies. Very few fish suspended. Tough walking as ice was covered with 4" of water and slush. Good 5" of ice under slush. Spudded our way and back. Should have enough slush for ice to hold til it get cold this week.
No ice is safe and you must check your own ice. With slush and snow cover and warm weather no one should venture out alone....
