First ice reports... no it's not good

is that open water in the background
but worth it for those are nice perch and pickerel

At least you stretched the tip ups out and getting a few fish...A lot these places that are barely fishable right now had a lot of wind the previous days before it froze. That crap ice when the water blows up over the edge of the ice and freezes then with the snow mixed in it’s a recipe for disaster, ice before New Year’s Day ain’t so common in no anymore remember that guys. It’s early play it safe!

nice, any tips on checking? I see that learning the spud bar and using it extensively is critical.
I doubt ill be going out by myself without someone experienced first, but curious on the process.
