Hit the ice today for about an hour in between errands.  The ice was very thick, 10" avg., and zero slush on top.  Where I was at was same as last week, which I just learned isn't actually part of PLX.  Got into the big ones again.  Bass, crappie, and bull gills.  All came in 10-12' of water, 2-3' off the bottom, although the crappie were a couple feet higher.  They came on a black tungsten jig tipped with 2 spikes.  Pounding, then a qiuck lift followed by a slow, controlled drop would trigger bites.  Here's some pics.  Although the crappies were between 9-11" they were super-fat!  I didn't keep anything though, they're all still swimming!
