Went out Sat morning 6:30am first trip this year snowing and blowing ice 4 inches thick everywhere we drilled holes.Fished the shoals 8 to 14 ft of water caught gills,bass,pike,crappie and a few bullhead. Didnt matter the jig they were biting everything did use alot of tungston jigs and several different tear drops. used plastics,waxies and spikes ended the day with a nice limit of gills nothing under 9 inches nothing over 12 inches.Hopefully get some good ice in ohio so we dont have to travel so far.


Great first day on the ice!

Finally able to get out sunday for a little ice time on a private lake in hillsdale. The ice was 7 to 8 inches with little snow. Caught some nice perch ( some 12's and gills 9 to 10 ). I talked with a few other guys and they said the ice around that area was about the same 7 to 8. Can't wait to get back out there.

Good fishing and be safe.

 Ice around 5-6 inches open around the docks most of the shanty's set up on the launch side of the marina.Catching alot of small gills and perch seemed to be the same with most of the people out there. It will get better.
