All hens and full of eggs. Interestingly caught the perch in 13 FOW. Landed 5 Crappie and missed 2-3X that many. Bite was light and inconsistent. Crappie were in 41 FOW and suspended 5-10" off the bottom.Great report, sounds like you had a good trip to PV. I'm really surprised that the ice there is holding up so well. The perch typically move shallow as they prepare to spawn. They are already spawning in Willard. Were the crappie the normal 7-8" size or did you get some bigger?
Ice conditions - 7-8" of cloudy ice over 6-7" of clear ice.Edges were good. No plank needed, but they are definitely softening. If you don't cross in the right spot, you can get wet. I give it one more week and then it's going to get real iffy.
