Good as in ice ? or fishing action ?

Ice is 36" but there are ruts on the launches to get on. Many trucks on the ice today.


in terms of fishing ..... Our neighbors were smashing them steady. It was slower for us.

Was out there today for 10 hrs, tried 10 different baits and lures and had no bites at all, Don't know if it was a slow day or not but what do you guys mostly use for pike and walleye this time of year?

Thanks.

There were a few of us out there today. The bite was good in the morning and then things died off in the afternoon. We had a couple over 10 lbers, some smaller ones and a variety of walleye and perch. A couple of the walleye were actually half decent size, a lot bigger then the average size you catch out of there.

Edit: Here is a picture of one of the nicer sized walleye. Only picture I took today but I know a few others took some of pike so maybe they will post them up.
