All the slush had frozen and it was an easy walk out. Went to the same spot that I had fished previously. I had to get on my knees to finally punch through. I was fishing by 7 pm. It was still light and cold enough that I had to keep skimming the holes. I did not put up my shelter.
Fishing was HOT to start off. Between 715 and 8 pm I caught 15. Then it got dark and they claimed up and wouldn't bite. I stayed until 930 and only caught 2 more. Temp was in the 20's when I left.
No pictures this time.
I'm really surprised the ice is holding up so well at PV. With all the warm weather we have been getting, I'm surprise the ice isn't pulling away from the shore, as the water rises. Glad you did so good on the catching. Any theory on why the crappie shut off at dark, isn't that when it usually gets better?
