With no snow and some colder weather it has been making some ice. I had a 1 week gap between open water and ice this year which was a nice change compared to most years.
Last nice fish my buddy caught in open water this year was this 11lb 11 oz walleye..
Me and a buddy got out early last week and found 4" of ice on a local lake, the middle was still open so we didn't venture out to far.
We hit some crappies between 8" and 9" no real slabs but it was good to get out and kick the dust off the gear, we didnt keep any from this trip. I wont keep a potato chip, i will if it is over 11".
My buddy with a llil guy..
Me with a lil feller..
Went out to a different lake yesterday and found some 12"-13.5" crappies, eyes and a couple of jumbo perch.. These made it into the pan!!
Bonus jumbo..
Slabber..
Our finally tally..
And a nice panoramic shot..
The image size requirement for this site made posting kind of a pita!!
