Hit the ice today with new member jakeman and Snowcone at the PLX.  Fish were on fire!!  Still copper tungsten, still 8-12 feet of water, still catching big fish!  The best Crappie’s were only 3-4 feet under the ice though.  Probably won’t be able to fish till next week after today.  Work tomorrow and the weekend is booked!  Here’s a few pics.

I access this area through private property.  I know a guy who is a manager of an apartment building and lets me park in the back of the lot.  The closest public parking is the boat launch on Long Lake.  Big fish on that side too!
