I hit my club this morning from 6:30 to 11. Ice was 5 inches. Bite didnt really start taking off until the sun was up. My two tip ups, armed with roaches, saw a lot of action today. Landed 2 largies, missed a lot more and had a bite-off too. Looks like I gotta upgrade the Vanish or go back to wire leaders. Many, many chips on shrimpo's tipped with waxies. Lots of sniffers, the panfish werent very aggressive. Kept 1 9" gill and 4 crappies for the pan. The crappies came on the shrimpo/waxie combo as well as a small chrome swedish pimple with a tail hooked crappie minnow jigged hard. Had a lot of equipment failure today.....had to jump the van this morning because I left the dome light on last nite-DUH!....somethings wrong with my Vex battery, it only charged a quarter full despite charging all last nite, another of my tipups aint working-the spindle is all gummed up and I gave up on one of my rods due to insane line twist. Fun day in all.

Thanks for the report Paul. Was planning to head down tomorrow, but am now heading West with my Dad.

A comedy of errors eh Paul, but the bite sounded fun.
Good to see you got out, looking forward to a trip down around that way in the near future, we're gonna crack the walleye code on Jeff's lake.

I dropped the Vanish a couple years back and been running Seagar with no complaints. Didn't know you had Esox roaming your waters.

Oh yeah, there's a couple kinds of toothy critters roaming those waters. Each ice season I get at least one Northern on traps.
