hit cranberry lake today to see if the fish wanted to play nice.the lake had 5" of ice and it looked solid. i was able to get 12 yellow perch ranging from 6 to 11",one white perch at 10",6 friggin slime darts

1 lmb at 14 and a half inches and 3 pumpkinseed sunnies. the fish were in 6 to 8 fow and were close to the bottom. i got them on both tip ups and on the jiggin rod. the ice was making the normal noise in the morning then was making a different noise later on. it sounded like sleet hitting a tin roof strange, but i love when the ice is making that growing noise

with colder temps at night lets hope we can get back what we lost with the warmer weather in the past couple of days.all in all a great day on the hardwater. i will be going back thursday with a friend to do some more fishing on his birthday. i hope the fish are still playing nice then
