Had thought about going down to knox but just could not resist taking a look at Charles mill. Fished it all day long and just slayed the big bluegill. Ice was a solid 2-3 inch hard and no water on top edge was a little shakey and ice cleats a must(one other guy fell pretty hard but was ok). I tied myself off to the shore and went out about 50 or so feet. Fished 6-7 feet of water. bite was best around mid day till 4 I left at 5:30 with 35 keeper gills and 1 perch. Put back at least 75 or more. At times could not keep up with 2 rods. Seemed to prefer gold hook and snap shot rig but little lindy jig shad color worked real well. Fish were from the bottom up about 16 inch jig motion or dead stick did not mater. Lots of hits at first drop. Temp was below freezing most all day. Would not have stayed out if it had warmed up any. The 3 other guys out were after crappie and had no luck.
