headed up to the big lake after work for a few hours.started out a little slow and
had to make a few moves but once i found them it was game on with a good pick.had some gills,perch.shiners and crappie.was able to get a good limit and was back home at 7:30.not great fishing but good enough to keep you casting.
it was a 50/50 on the jig & bobber or the small husky jerk,both taking their share.

NICE!!! Can’t wait for this ice to be gone and really give us some spots.

I was out yesterday and the lake was all open that I could see. I launched at Lee's and there was no ice from there all the way up into Woodport. I didn't go to the left of Lee's but didn't see any across main lake. I didn't get there till 3:30 or so and hit 2 spots looking for crappie but didn't get a bite. I went to another spot looking for perch and after a move I found them and was catching slobs cast after cast. Wish I had more time but I can't wait to get back out.
