Title: 1/15/18 late, sorry
Post by: slabslayer on January 16, 2018, 06:32:46 PM
Back on my spot again and getting largemouth bass like crazy again.  With gills and crappie constantly in the mix.  But they were much more reluctant to hit than before the storm. I had to work a lot harder to get them.  Had one big something break me off, first breakoff I’ve had  on the ice in a long long time. Using #5 tungsten Jigs but had to change color after 1 or 2 fish or they’d just come up, look at it, and swim back down. Hopefully tomorrow will be a more aggressive bite.  Waxies outproduced maggots but barely.

I had a similar bite at Indian yesterday.  I would guess the front shut them down.  I talked to a guy who said they crushed the gills on the 14th.
