Kastmaster, his son, and I were near the dam, Arrived at 8:30 AM, and were fishing in 17 feet of water. Ice was 8-10 inches thick. The action was superb. The 6-10 inch planters bit all day, and were taking all our offerings. I was using worm peices on usual rat finkees and flashers, kastmaster was using mainly mealworms, as well as a few other items. In addition to the small ones, we all caught a goodly number of the larger 12-15 inch fish, (10-12 each) and kastmaster caught a nice 17 incher that was the big fish for us. We left at 3:15. We lost track of our catch total but it was easily in triple figures combined. a great day on the water with good company. I'm glad other BFTers got into them too. Good luck to all this weekend.
