Took my father in law to Chesterfield and we had a great first trip out of the season. Ice was a good 4 to 5 inches with some slush when it warmed up. We iced 30 between the two of us ranging from 12 to 22 inches. We caught 6 fish over 20 inches and they were fat and healthy, good fighters. We fished in anywhere from 5 to 20 feet of water with most of the action in the shallows at first then moving out to the 10-12 feet area later in the afternoon. Small jigs with a bit of night crawler worked the best. We used meal worms but the crawler was much more successful for some reason. 80% of the fish we caught dead sticking but we did catch some jigging as well. Attached a few short videos. I hope the file size isn't too big. Tight lines.
