Awesome!  Glad your day was better than mine. I fell on Nimi and messed up my elbow and had to come home before I ever got a lure in the water.

I too hit Mogodore yesterday......the lake was one ice making machine my friends....It was perpetually growling like an angry old man. A beautiful sound to my ears!  I was on the SR43 side.   For some reason there isn't a whole lot of people fishing over there this year.

been wanting to try 43 side how was the fishing snag you never said,Im always afraid to take my truck down lansinger rd. afraid ill get stuck,rearwheel drive only,not good in snow or ice.

I don't know about lately, but I got some nice crappie and gills off the 43 side early January. Haven't tried lately though.

I'm brand new to ice fishing and planning to head out for the first time this weekend.  Can you provide any tips on what the fish hit on?  Should I be looking at live bait or lures such as jigs, jigging spoons, etc?

[slabslayer]

Jigs with live bait. Maggots or waxworms. Purple has been my best color this year, followed by chartreuse. Welcome to IFO.

Thanks for the tips.  I'll be sure to post about my experience from this weekend.

holehopper.....sorry about getting back late.....I went fishing all day yesterday and never got a chance to reply.   The fishing on the 43 side was slow, but quality was nice.  I ended up with a combination of gills and perch.  I threw allot of the perch back due to the delicate condition they were in.  Fist size bellies full of eggs.

Still p/od that every time I plan on hitting road bed ,it snows and I get called into work, it's time to hit the lottery and retire     Has anyone had a chance to hit saxe rd ?

[snag]

trapperjon....I never did get out off of Saxe Rd......I haven't been over on that side of the Lake for several years now.  However, I'm not above making the trek.
