i went to the big pond today and fished with some friends in a whiteout today. i was out yesterday afternoon as well. we caught perch, sunnies, crappies and a couple of slime darts. my friends fished jigs and tip ups while i just fished jigs. we were in 5 to 6 fow, again the fish were glued to the bottom.. one of the slime darts was just over 22" it was caught on a tip up. with cold temps in the forecast we should hopefully close up some of the open spots in the middle of the lake however the winds that are right behind the snow we got will not be helping at all. the ice were we fished was 6" plus in some spots the ice was a little thicker than 6" but not by much. we got blown off the lake by the high winds and blowing snow the holes would fill in real fast making it hard to keep the holes clean... tight lines and many flags to all that venture out :cool:
