crappie where 9-10" one 11" nothing major. i think we may try changing bait sizes out next time, maybe going with some smaller shiners and suckers instead of the big guys.

that sounds like a good start...
go off about 50 feet along the edge and set your tip up there...
mind you you may have already found the exact spot for your tip up, we all failed to mention that pike only hit when they are ready... a pike may sit just off your bait about a foot all day never moving an inch...
I too tried to get on the ice today but could not, by the time I went the ice was 3 feet from shore...
we too had record high temps, about 63
I figure at least to the midle of next week before I will be able to get on the ice agan..[unimpressed]
any size to them crappie?[/reply]
