There are plenty in there, caught my share of 16-20" fish this past year trolling. Just haven't found them thru ice. The perch are there too caught a te of them as well and it's loaded with crappie. If I can talk the wife into getting out tomorrow then that's where we will go. I'll be in a blue shappell

I fished from 4:00pm to 7:00 this evening and caught three crappie two small mouth bass and more catfish then I could count . I could not keep the catfish away long enough for any other fish to have a chance

There was one other guy out there he had a few catfish setting on the ice he said that's all he was catching. The crappie I caught were right before dark

Sounds good, I'm planning on going up monday we will see how it goes. Gonna put some tip ups out and hopefully I get something. Fished it a handful of times last year and didn't get squat.
