I'm consider buy a new ice rod case and I want to hear thoughts and opinions on cases you currently use. I use an Eagle Claw hard case, but I want a case that has a should strap for easy carrying on and off the ice. Any advice would be great. Thanks and good fish'n!

Yesterday I put new blades on the Lazer. I made sure they were made in sweden and not China. Also a useful hint for auger blades is to grease the bolts before assembling them to the auger. This keeps the bolts from rusting and potentiality snapping out on the ice. Anyone else getting ready for the season? If so, what have you been doing to prep for the season?

Thank Slabslayer for your input. I value your words and I plan on keeping the pro ducer. I've been doing a lot of reading on the the net and sometimes it's hard to gauge a product with very little reviews. The Tom Zanco videos are very informative too but their isn't a whole lot of videos of the actual ducer out in the field. Anyways, I can't to wait to get to the docks this November to test it out!

I just recently purchased a pro-view ice transducer for my Vex Fl-18 model and i'm starting to get second thoughts on it. Does anyone use a Pro-view in shallow water (10ft or less) and how good of a job does it do marking fish? From everything I've been reading it just sounds like a glorified 9 degree transducer. That kind of concerns me considering most of the fishing I do around central Ohio is shallow lakes and ponds. Anyways, I know there's a few guys on here that have the FLX 28 that comes with the Pro-view standard and I'm just wondering what has been your experience with it thus far?
Thanks, John

That's great news! I can't wait to break out the gear and knock off the cobwebs.

Found some keeper crappie and some very nice gills fishing the docks today. All the crappie were caught 6' off the bottom and the gills were caught 2' off the bottom. All the gills were caught using a vmc tungsten tubby jig tipped with a wax worm. The crappie were caught with northland rattle spoons tipped with a wax worm and Vmc tubby with glow mustache worm.

I should of joined you guys at Rocky Fork. The bite at CJ was there, but I caught more dink gills than anything. I ended up bring home some decent gills, but had to catch 10 times the amount of dink gills to catch a good one. I found out that the better gills were only a ft below the docks and the dinks were at the bottom. Also spikes were a waste of time. I fed more gills than hook ups. I ended up putting on a soft plastic vmc mustache worm on a fiska jig and that ended up catching all my bigger gills. I was really hoping on catching some crappie however it never happened. It still was fun breaking out the Vex and short rods.

Leaving this morning I was contemplating between CJ or Delaware, considering they're about the same distance from where I live. I Definitely made the wrong choice. It looks like CJ next weekend.

I went to both Delaware and Alum creek docks today and it was a complete waste of gas. The docks at Delaware had the ramps removed so I couldn't access the docks without jumping from the concrete wall over a 5ft gap to reach the docks. Trust me I considered doing it, but I wouldn't had a way back up and would of been stuck. So I decided to drive over to Alum to see if there was a slim chance of fishing the gas pump. No such luck because the marina docks are gated off with construction vehicles all over the place. Hopefully I saved some of you a headache and some gas. Ice season can't come soon enough!

I tried the Nature Preserve first and found out it was extremely spotty ice. It was anywhere from 3 inches to a 1 1/2 in places. I couldn't get to my go to spot, so I hit up Long Island instead (first pull off). The ice was good and the fishing was good. At first it was a struggle to find the fish, but once I did it was bite after bite. I ended up with 5 nice gills, but like everyone else I had to weed through the dinks. Also caught a dink bonus perch. LOL I was going to post measurement of the ice, but by this time tomorrow the ice at the nature preserve should be good too. (As always check your own ice, make your best judgement, and be safe)

I always use Fiska tungsten Jigs and Skandia Tungsten Jigs for panfish. Both are very affordable for tungsten compared to a lot of other brands. Skandia has some pretty sweet diamond nose tungsten jigs that always worked for me. Also I hardly use live bait with jigs, so check out Trigger X - Mustache worms and Custom Jigs and Spins - Original Finesse Plastic. Both produce really well and go great with the Skandia and Fiska Jigs. I will say though, Brantner Jigs makes one of the best glowing tungsten jigs in the market. The red/glow is amazing.

I scouted the lake Monday afternoon and the typical early ice spots had around a 1 - 1 1/4 of ice. Everywhere else was open water. If people are fishing those first ice spots then I would consider it sketchy at best.

Nice work Toadfish and 30inthabucket. I'm planning on going out one last time with my neighbor tomorrow, but probably won't fish Dream Bridge. More than likely heading to NF or cranberry. I'll let you know how we do with the early morning bite. P.S. Chub I wasn't talking the trailer park itself, but the grass embankment in front of it. I don't think that's private ground. That's where most people park to fish that surrounding area.

Minnows would of been great that day, but we had a very short time window to fish.
