Congradulations Sliver those little ones are a lot of fun.

[silverbulletguy]

Hopefully in a couple weeks I will be able to hit the ice with my little guy. Just need plenty of ice to ease moms nerves.

[Stick in Mud]

Like many of you, I've finally iced my first fish of the season. The bite's been pretty good, for crappies and sunnies, anyway.

Hit a few spots on the river with decent luck. Two local lakes provided lots of action but not much in the way of size. I still haven't made it out to the Chain, though....How's the ice out there? Anyone walked out from the winter access?

[Horseshoe_Don]

Was out in front of the cabin again tonight. Dropped the camera for entertainment. The fish were not moving. Saw only 2 eyes, 1 ten pound northern or so, and only one cat. After dark I did ice one 15 inch eye.

Waiting for just a little more ice to go to my secret spot.

Slow night.

It's been mostly perchy results for me on the ice in Avon area with a few crappies .I'm hopeful that these lakes won't be as crowded during the week .Been marking fish mostly in the upper 20's depths.Seems like when I want to go deeper there are around four groups of ppl stationed where I want to fish.lol.Temperature has been real good where I can hole hop with out useing the pop-up much.I will be trying the Briggs chain and more Avon area this week.

[Team Bobberdown]

I plan to hit a few lakes this weekend. will this snow we are getting hurt or help? I know we are suppose to get cold wed/Thur/Fri. Also whats the deal with Mayhew lake? Is it any good yet? Also I am having a hell of a time trying to put pic on this site.Is there some sort of trick or what?I tried like 10 times to make an avatar and post fish shots. Alittle help here... peace Big Nick Grbich

Had A great evening on the Briggs chain tonight.I ended up almost limiting crappies and a dozen gills.I used the Clam line of plastics on epoxy jigs and a spoon with live waxes tipped on the ends.Didn't need the spring bobber the fish were hungry and wernt playing shy.I Sat on 9 fow and were swimming in the 6'-7' range.Crappie sizes ranged fro 8"-12".The gills were 7"-9.25"Wow! I'm glad I checked in to the chain tonight!

I let them all back in the water for another day

[Jared_P]

Was in front of the Cabin again this morning. Caught 4 crappies(up to 12") 3 Wallys but only one keeper.

Have not ventured out to my secrets spots cause I blew the engine on my little wheeler, but I bout a new old little wheeler so now I can venture out.

[Rick G]

Nice job, Jeremy! We are going to have to team up on the Briggs chain soon. There are some dandy fish in there if you can find them.

[eyeguy 54]

I'll join you next week if ya want some company.

[Naturboy]

Sounds like a blast Jeremy, nights like that are why I fish

[Iron Cowboy]

Nice job, Its refreshing to see someone that cares about the fishery and puts some back. About how much ice? Any wheeler traffic yet? Thanks again for being selective, I love the Briggs chain and worry about how hard it gets pressured in the winter

[JeremyCampbell]

I think around six inches.I seen someone parked with a wheeler on there trailer but didn't look like it made it to the ice.

[Jes007]

Briggs had wheelers parked just off shore on Sunday. I don't think anyone was brave enough quiet yet.

[JeremyCampbell]

I decided to go back to the Briggs Chain and ran in to Tom S. We teamed up and spread apart to find the fish.Fishing wasn't as good as yesterday but did get some.There were a lot of them on the sceen and tried everything to hook in to them.Slush was a couple inches thick with a misty rain.I'm going to go back around Avon area and see what's up,maybe in the midst of the weather coming in.I've had good luck in the past in blizzards

[Naturboy]

I was out on Briggs today and found something I'd be glad to return if you can tell me what it is. You could send me a pm. No fish today, and not much going on with others I talked to.
