I went out on the big pond today to see if any fish wanted to play and was not disappointed.The ice was 4" of solid black ice with 1" of snow on top the wind has been blowing at night so the lake is only safe in some spots and most of the main body of the lake is open water. I found fish in 6' range close to the bottom they wanted the meat on a jig the fish did not want to play with the plastics or bare metal jigs. The weeds are close to the bottom for the most part and there is small patches of standing weeds here and there so when you cut a hole you do not end up with salad in the hole so that makes for better fishing opportunities. I ended up with 5 perch from 6" to 9" and one 11" crappie for the table. the photos were from today had trouble uploading them tom did a great job keeping the slime darts away from my offerings..
