We were the first ones on the ice on the south side of cemetery this morning. -8 when we walked on the ice. Got set up in 28 feet of water and the catchin began. As long as you were within the bottom 12" you caught fish. Kept a dozen to munch on. Caught triple that. All smaller end. Had a nice big mud cat swimming around under our holes. Kinda funny. Left the ice around 1100 and it was 3 degrees.
Didn't matter what we put down there, used perch eyes or waxes, both worked well. I did notice that they wanted it moving today. just give it a little jig, they would hammer you.
No crappies. Thought there would be more folks on the ice today than there was. However with everything froze up, lots of places to fish and spread out.
