Chesterfield 3/8/08

I made it out to Chesterfield with some family and friends today and we ended up having a nice day on the ice. The ice is still plenty solid around the edges so there wasn't a need for a plank. Fishing was pretty steady for fish ranging 12-17 inches. We did catch two fish about 18-19 inches and the fish of a day, a nice 23 incher (see attached photo). Most of the fish were caught at fairly shallow depths but we caught fish anywhere from 4-20 feet with the majority being suspended within 5-6 feet below the ice. Various jigs/ice flies worked well but I preferred a white glow in the dark plastic jig tipped with a meal worm. Interestingly, the 23 inch fish was caught at 7 feet with a tiny black feather jig without bait while it was not being jigged. Good luck if anyone gets out.
