Well not so good. Basicly struggled for 2 days to find fish. Sat. night I finally went to a spot that I've caught walleyes in the past and was able to get a few cigars and half dozen perch, all CPR'ed. I also noticed that a lot of the small perms on lake never had any vistors while I was there, not sure what that exactly means though, tough bite, not up for weekend, etc. Mostly wheel houses for weekend, I'm assuming and a few portables.

I did run into a guy pulling his shack off a lake known for panfish. He said he hadn't caught a fish in a week or something like that but he didn't answer where he's going put his shack on now though. Bait shop guy also mentioned he hadn't heard many reports and they're out of shiners but peqout and Pine river supposedly had them.  

Ice was about 22", bumpy and a little snow cover on it still.

All in all it was still a nice trip but sure would have liked to find more fish. Also quite a bit of traffic going up on Thursday, that surprised me.

I was mostly targeting panfish because we have some kids coming up with us in a couple weeks.

It sounds like the spearers have been seeing lots of fish though. Good luck.
