On the ice again today. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Went to Little Long Lake in Michigan, just 6 mile north of the Ohio/Michigan line here in NW Ohio. Found 7" of ice. Water stained from all the rain we just had this week. Slow bite. Did manage four(4)  9" gills and 1/2 dozen smaller ones. No perch or crappie today. Found them in 7 FOW. Drilled close to 40 holes, depths ranging from 3.5'  to 24'.  But at least I was on the ice. :) :) :)

Will be heading to Nettle Lake here in NW Ohio in the morning. Stopped by on the way back from Little Long. A little interesting just to get out on the public access dock as the first part was under water(and thin ice) from all the rain. Did spud off the dock and found 4" of ice. Will be headed out in the morning after it gets light out so I can read the ice. Will be going with a buddy and will have spud, icepicks, throw rope and flotation suit on. Headed out after crappie and catfish.

Remember: NO ICE IS SAFE ICE.....

Spud your way out, have all your safety gear and go with a buddy!!!!!!!

Will report on ice conditions tomorrow when I return.

Probably won't have good ice by next weekend with more warm up and rain on the way..
