Night fished the n and s end last night from 5-930. Ice was good. 5". Went with 3 buddies and we never really found em. We ended with 3 peanuts. There were another 2 guys on s end moving quite a bit so I assume they never found em either. Tough bit. Met Joewalguy on his way out. Great to meet you.

Fished S end from 130- dark. Only person on that side. A few 7 inch gills and a few
8 inch crappie. Mostly caught on glow vertical jigs with rubber fails. No bait. Nothing kept. Ice was nice. 4.5-5 inches everywhere I walked. There were a few guys in north end but only caught dinks as well. Was really nice to be out and hope to get out once more before the next weeks forecast.

Hi all.
Happy ice season. Was sitting in the shack today and thought it would be fun to see what terrible excuses everyone could come up with to call off work and fish. I'll start. Please post any ridiculous thought you have.
1) water all over floor and waiting on a plumber because my daughter flushed the toilet while I was working on my jigging rapala technique.
2) not feeling well because my tuna casserole was undercooked by my mr heat.

Been really busy so not able to post lately. Went last Tuesday from 10-3 on the ice. North end between 2 and 3 buoy. Looked for eyes, but only found 1- 12" dunker. Hammered the slabs tho. 7 fow. Had 2-13", 2-12" a bunch of 10" and a 10" perch. Ice was thick but 2 big parallel cracks about 10 feet from each other should make for some rough crossing if it isn't already. All caught on BIG baits actively jiggling. A rattle rap in shad and a 1/8 blue n silver Cleo tipped with mini head took rest. Can't believe how many hit that big rattle bait.

Fished 3/7/15 from 7 am and walked off at 10 pm. Nice day, a little windy but nice. Fished SE end in 18 fow. Lots n lots of perch 9"or less and a handful of small gills. Most were caught on black, gold or blue jigs tipped with minnows. Tried Maggis n waxies but no dice. Moved a few times but never really got into the crappie or eyes. Did manage to land a few suspended crappie after dark 5-10 foot off bottom. Largest was 11 but others were 9-10". Snow on ice was light. 4" compact down. Not a bad drag at all.

When you find fish but they just dont seem to cooperate, are you a mover or finesser? I realize everyone will say both, as I am too but when it boils down to it, do you move to find more active fish, or do you hunker down and set up camp trying every thing in the bag of tricks?

Went to Chip on Sun night from 4 -10 pm. Trudged thru 11 inch of snow off the beach to the deep hole on the nw end. 21 fow. Fish were all over the water column. From 2 foot under ice to bottom. Bite was slow but they were there in full force. Managed to pick 8 small crappie. 2 on Minnie's, 3 on a white jig, 2 on black 1 on char. Overall perfect night. SW wind. Warm 25 degrees, and good Moon light. Thought for sure we would light them up. Good times. Mad props to the dudes sitting around a campfire enjoying adult beverages. Not a bad way to enjoy a nice winter Sunday evening.

I have been wearing a pedometer all year long for insurance purposes, (First year) and noticed that on my ice fishing days, I get an average of about 2500 extra steps in. So when your wife is laughing at you for sitting on the couch posting to IFO or looking at you tube videos on how to catch 16 inch crappie thru the ice regularly, while she does Zumba videos, you can let her know that your going fishing in the morning for your health.
"Keep your stick on the ice, I'm pulling for you. "
The quote is from Red Green. Great show.

Hi,
I have been viewing the site for a while and decided to signed up last year as a member. I felt i looked enough and was not contributing so i took the plunge and enrolled. I have to say thank you to the guys who organize and put everything together. This is a great site and I am happy to be part of it. Dont know too many people who embrace cold feet, frozen fingers, and carbon monoxide poisoning as much as i do. Hope to meet everyone on the ice at some point.

I was reading the journal post and it got me thinking about my gps waypoints. I mark a waypoint but wonder what others do and if anyone ever marked a hole and averaged a hole to compare which is more accurate when they came back at a later date. I do realize accuracy does change day to day but wondered if anyone ever compared. My cousin was a Lawrence pro-staffer a few years back and he always averaged saying it was better because it used more satellites. I think average uses 4 and mark uses 3. Not sure so do not quote me on that. I think a good test would be to mark a visible spot and average a visible spot and come back at a later date and see which is closer. Might try it and post results later. Thoughts?

Anyone know how to downsize the I phone picture files so they will post? Every time I try to post a pic is says error which I believe is because of the size. I read the post on how to post pics and the section which directs to a site to downsize them but do not use a computer and and would like to know if i cam post straight off phone to share pictures.
Thanks.

Anyone ever notice if old maggots sometimes spook fish? I sometimes notice if I keep maggots around for a while, it seems like sometimes I get more sniffers and less biters. They are still alive, but have been in and out of my fridge and pockets a few times. Not sure if there is anything to this or not. I might just make stuff up as an excuse for a bad day.

Never been here before but thinking about headed that way Saturday morn. Anyone ever target walleye here? Is it worth looking? Secondly where is the closest bait shop for Minnie's?
Thanks.

Went to turkey today. Did not see one other fisherman. Was odd. Caught probably 25 6-8 gills a 12" crappie and missed a bunch. All fish came on black jig and maggots. Fish liked it real aggressive jigging and were caught 2-3 foot off bottom. Fished depth of 5-9 foot bottom just outside weed clumps.
