Finally Kicked my 2018 ice season off Wednesday. Got some time to burn at work so I left early and headed to budd. Fished from noon to 330 with one flag, it took fifty feet line and dropped it headed back out this morning with skunk city headed out to woodport area and had a few flags and few small perch to show for it. Made a wiggle to a drop off we found with deepest being 14 feet water and couldn’t keep up with the tip ups, all nice big perch and a decent bucketmouth. I had one big bait swinging for the fence but no takers. FLAGGGG!
I drove past Budd around 4:00 yesterday and saw that someone had some holes on the ice. How thick was it?
