Fished for awhile after work today. About 7 inches of good ice where I was. Started deep in about 20 fow, and only had one fish rise to my jig, brought it up a little, then I think the fish and my wax worm had a staring contest. Not sure who won, but the fish went back to the bottom without biting.

Moved in closer to about 13 feet and had one fly up to my jig as it was dropping, slammed it, somehow missed it, then it went away too. Finally started getting slow but steady action closer to 10 feet. Had a few show up suspended at 3-4 feet and they bit too.

Used a glow green gill pill with a waxie the whole time and ended up with about 12 fish total. Gills and crappies, nothing big enough to keep, but enough to keep me on the ice for about 2 hours.

Here's a picture of one of the bluegills from tonight. Most were smaller, this is one of the better ones (~5-6 inches tops) just for an example.

Brad try it at Mitchell pits, I was out there Tuesday afternoon about 2:30 and caught
a lot of crappies. I was fishing just a little ways from the boat ramp, fish were
bitting at 10 ft. a lot of small ones but a few that made 8 to 9 inches. A good
7 inches of ice where I was at.

Nice report Brad. Thanks for sharring the info. Hope to get out on the wapsi today to try some walleye fishing.

Thanks guys! I'll have to try Mitchell real soon.

Jim, did you make it out on the Wapsi?

Yup. Good ice under the 150 bridge in independence. However no walleyes. But it was the middle of the day??? Went to a old quarry and Santa caught one 12 inch crappie and a very small gill. Nothing else to report but fishing should pick up. OBD and I talked about him running for president and he said to give him a couple of days to think about it. HMMM!
