Went with bonecrusher first hing this morn to one of our local ponds, only about a half acre in size. Ice was 3-4 in with 2-3 of good clear ice an inch to inch and a half of white on top of that. We did fairly well, caught 18 nice keeper gills between 8 and 9 in. I had something break me off, was jiggin a small pimple and got a small hit then slamed it, line broke before i could even start fighting it. No clue what it was. Most all caught on tear drops and waxies.
