Got out today. Quite a few boats out, most ramps are clear now, very little ice left, what is there is really slushy and easily broken.

Wind was brutal and I didn't really do much main lake fishing. I eventually stumbled across a school of shad back in a cove and found some fish in it. Mostly short crappie, but a couple keepers and one walleye.

No luck with the spoon today, 1/8 oz pink jig and a zoom tiny fluke is what they seemed to prefer.

You know it's a good one when the depth finder gets confused and thinks they're the bottom.

Got on the lake at Mutton creek Sunday just to play with and adjust electronics. Ice pretty much gone except for around marina. Water temp 37.5 F. Found balls of shad and a few fish around them on the bottom in 35-40 ft. Nothing caught, Did not wet a line but ready to go!

I found a few smaller ones checking river channels, but nothing big like I had been fishing before we got the bad weather.

I found the one in the photos totally by accident, was motoring around a cove trying to see how thick the ice was, and ran across it. Didn't think you'd find them back there when the water is this cold.
