We went out today and hacked through 5-8 inches of ice and fished over 7-15 foot of water. This was my first trip like this and it was a blast. The snow came down pretty hard at times. No fish were caught but we had one flag pop up from a bite. If i knew how to post the pics i would.

Man i can't believe i didn't think of that! We used minnows with no luck. Might have to go tomorrow and try that FNF
At least you guys made it out and knocked the dust off of some rods. Sounds Fun...
Was this at lake Ellerslie? How far out could you go on the ice?

We went out over 100ft in some areas and even walked across the first cove at the pipeline. The Ice is THICK. You could walk across the lake if you wanted. The lake has an open area around the aerators.
Im jealous! I called my old man up in Central IL and he went out yesterday and caught about 2 dozen bluegill with some of his buddies on waxies...made me mighty homesick but then i remembered its going to warm up this week!!
When I went ice fishing in Indiana, I used maggots attached to a tiny jig about a foot off the bottom. Caught some really nice Bluegills and crappie, sometimes some guys would catch a nice Bass this way...Really awesome catching fish on two pound test line thru the ice..... Even took a Keroscene heater out on the ice with us...If you got the clothes and boots to keep you warm, you can fish for hours...Weird thing was, when you caught a fish and unhooked it, threw it on top of the ice, it would freeze solid, then when you got home to thaw them out to clean, they would come back to life...Totally weird...... and awesome as well..... G/L
I have never heard that before? They were dead and came back alive once they thawed?
The one pic looks like someone was fishing for "redeyes", but the fun is all that counts.
