 Fished a panfish hole I have never fished before, had 7" of good clear ice over 1.5' of water that's right 1.5' and we caught a blue gill every 10 seconds. John Kernan and I must have landed over 200 gills from noon till 6ish.  I kept over 40 of them measuring 8 to 10 inches. I never would have thought they would be that shallow, but they are. The hot jig color  seemed to be orange and yellow tipped with a wax worm. The bite was light, most of them didn't even bounce the spring bobber, you had to watch your line, when it started to move to the side you set the hook and had a fish. I'll post pics. tomorrow before I clean them. Good luck and be safe.

Great job Chris and John. Love it when you can catch nice sized fish one after another. Are you going out Friday or Saturday?

Buckeye looks like the eyes are just starting to pack up so I may fish in closer to the bog for panfish early then hit 7' stuff for eyes mid afternoon to evening
