Marina, ice is 6,7 inches. Largest Crappie in 2 days was 12 inches, but plenty of keepers with plenty of Bream mixed in. 19 keeper Crappie yesterday from sun up until about 2pm. For every keeper threw back at least 3 dinks. Kept 7 Bream also. 6 keeper Crappie the evening of 01/23/16 with 18 Bream, had my 2 young daughters out for a couple hours ages 13 and 8.

No flasher, Im just familiar with a brush pile I fish year round. My girls caught all the fish on 01/23/16 with horizontal jigs with wax worms and I went out th next morning alone and got everything on jigging Raps.

Do you tip the Jigging Raps with anything.

Thanks Holehopper!  8) Always feels good to get the kids a tight line when they come out.

Well either the fish were just not hungry tonight or I just suck. Went out for awhile after work. Marked plenty of fish but only had a few bites. Caught a few small gills and two little crappie. Tried a few things but they wouldn't commit. Gonna try it again in the morning. Anyone have any tips for me?
