hit cranberry lake today to see if the fish wanted to play nice.the lake had 5" of ice and it looked solid. i was able to get 12 yellow perch ranging from 6 to 11",one white perch at 10",6 friggin slime darts:mad: 1 lmb at 14 and a half inches and 3 pumpkinseed sunnies. the fish were in 6 to 8 fow and were close to the bottom. i got them on both tip ups and on the jiggin rod. the ice was making the normal noise in the morning then was making a different noise later on. it sounded like sleet hitting a tin roof strange, but i love when the ice is making that growing noise:rolleyes:with colder temps at night lets hope we can get back what we lost with the warmer weather in the past couple of days.all in all a great day on the hardwater. i will be going back thursday with a friend to do some more fishing on his birthday. i hope the fish are still playing nice then:cool:

Sounds fun, got to love the mixed bag that ice fishing offers. Crazy though how no one ever gets any Pike there!

Why the frowny face for pickerel ?

Completely underappreciated fish that saves many an ice fishing skunk.

Nice mixed bag!

Never fished there, but what is the deal with pike in that lake?

you can keep the slime darts. i don't like those bony, toothy,lure trashing,tasteless,eating machines... i don't mind a skunkin, if slime darts are the olny fish that would save me from a skunkin i would rather catch nada.. and as for getting first place with a friggin slime dart,let someone else get first place that is fine with me... i caught so many of those things as a kid growing up and lost so many lures that i had to buy with my hard earned money. as a kid money was hard to get and losing lures just pissed me off:mad: sorry folks slime darts get no love from the icebadger.

no eddie they are gamefish and some people enjoy catching them, i hope the darts that i let go provide someone with a thrill perhaps a kid catches them and they make his day. besides the birds deserve better than that anyway:rolleyes:

My brother lives on the lake and fishes it often during the summer and swears he finally caught one last year. I think he said it was about the same size as your average pickerel.
