Mantua 12/6

[Jig-fisher]

Really didn't have a plan today. Duck hunt or get out on the ice for the first time. Decided to try the ice. Late start, still some open water on the north west side. Accessed the ice on the east side. A couple of anglers out there. Walked out a ways following other anglers tracks. When they ran out I used my spud bar to venture further. Found 5" in the first spot, 4" in the second and 3rd. Lots of dink perch, several planter bows, a couple of nice gills and perch. Could not locate any nice schools of the bigger ones. Last holes drilled and 1st drop I got a 10.5" perch and got excited. But I don't know where his pals were at because that was the lone big one. I didn't dare venture too far out. Not where I usually like to go, but still fun to get out.
