Took a trip out to a small local lake to knock the dust off my ice gear. Just took a hand auger, a bucket with essentials and one rod. Fished from 10am to around 3pm and the ice was 4" where I was but there were spots opened up just last week that were at 2" so there is sketchy ice out there. In the time I was fishing I saw 5-7 people show up and only 2 fish caught between them all. I myself had 9 gills, 3 nice crappies, a very nice redear and threw back a bass.
The difference? Asked around and everyone was using waxies on jigs and minnows on tipups. I haven't bought live bait in 3 years and was using gulp waxies tipped on a jig. The other contributing factor, in my opinion, drilled a dozen holes in an area I knew from years back to be productive right off the bat. Gave the holes time to settle since I was only in 10fow then began fishing. Pull a fish then hit the next hole, kept rotating around until guys started encroaching my area and decided it was time to go.
Not sure why but I'm unable to load pictures, something about image MIME type not allowed?
