A big school of crappie moved in and made it hard for the perch to get to the bait. After catching 15 paper mouths I headed back to the garage. Got the heat rolling and a cold one in my hand. Great way to spend a winter Saturday!

Slabs!

Yesterday. Left a hot crappie bite to chase saugeye in the evening, which was a mistake as that was a bust. Still had a good few hours with the panfish. I think we brought home around 25 or 30 total, most over 11 inches. Biggest 12.75.

Nice crappie!

That's a good haul Seth

Saw on FB that an entire family of 7 went through the ice at Mosquito. All survived with the help of other anglers. Be careful out there.

This is why I don’t go on ice.... I know lots of folks do it and know when it’s safe but I’ll stay on land...

A heavy spud bar should always be in hand when venturing on to "new" ice.

I know next to nothing about ice fishing. Many of the commenters drew attention to 7 people in one ice tent? Too much weight in one spot? Sounded as though they had been there a while.

We skated on goofed off on our pond when I was a kid a lot. We played hockey some too and after every wipe out I was amazed I didn’t go through. I’ve freaks me out and I have no idea how I lived to adulthood.

We did the skating when we were kids. Fell through way too often and figured I’d just pushed my lick once too often....

So many variables and they all change on each lake. tributaries, depth, wind effect, etc. I don't go out without spudding first, even on my own pond. On big lakes I do the same unless on well traveled trails. Even then, I always stop and check sketchy looking patches and every crack before sending it across.

Complacency will kill. No different when standing on ice.
