owlbait and I braved wind gust of up to 30 mph and blowing wet snow  to get to our favorite crappie fishing spot.
the bite wasn't great but we managed a half decent catch.

The Crappie King beat me again, but even with those winds blowing, I retained the Crapper King title! Thanks for taking me along Kevin!

Finally got everything charged and ready to get out. My son and I managed to catch a small mess of bluegills and channel cats through the ice today. It was 45*F and sunny at times.

We used to skip school and drive the cars down on the ice. It helped me drive a motor boat later on. I would spike the tires of my dirt bike and run my trap line around the lake before getting on the school bus.
I got lots of these in a local river. Cold water Barracuda. Fish on the ice till blue.
Tip up, jig, uncle Jack and Mr. Yukon Jack. Hot sausage.

Yeah Steve they cancelled school yesterday for that and we only hit -4* F and same windchill. Sounds like it shifted more to the east and not so much south. Made for a good day to hard water fish

Thanks Kevin! Gotta fish when we have ice here in so.IN since it's been a couple years for solid ice to fish on. I usually head up to Manistee area and Irons to drills some holes if I want to fish good ice.
