I started the day with a couple of buddies on sat at a private pond that we call the campground. We started getting fish right away but all of them were small, and I mean small I think I got one crappie that was all of three inches. So we decided to go give del a shot. We got to the cove about ten o'clock adn got setup at the mouth of the cove. After a few test holes we found a ledge that went from five to ten ft depth in about two foot of distance. We fished the edge and started bangign gills. That lasted till about one o'clock then it just shut off. We moved onto the hump and caugh ta few more but that was it. Most were caught on waxies and tear drops dead sticked, but we did pick a few up jigging lost one crappie at the hole and a few gills at the hole also. it was a really good day except fo the wind we were just far enough on the main lake the the wind was blasting us. Had to have been 20mph sustained and we were bucket fishing. i wanted to stay for the eve bight but didn't. Ended up with 20 keeper gills. i will be hitting this lake hard the next few weeks. Saw one other guys fishign but don't know if he caught anything or not. ice was good 6-8 everywhere we went. Some of the snow seemed wet/slushy didn't go on these areas but saw were they had been crossed recently. thinking maybe pressure cracks letting water through??? Anyway I plabn on being back out soon will let every one know ho wit goes.
