Sunday Ice Report

[fishingbuddies]

Cold cold cold. 1 degree this morning in the Andover area. Saw lotta guys at cranberry. Andover bait store packed with anxious n eager ice anglers. Coldest I've been on the water I think. Warmed up by 9ish and no issues setting up n getting settled in. 4 inches all around. My buddy lost a crappie almost immediately at the hole. Than that was it till like 1030. A few false flags. Finally a tip down went down and a pickeral was landed. Then I lost another fish jigging. Very weak bite. Nothing till about 1ish... i hooked a pickerel that pulled the rod off the holder. I did a foot 1st slide and grabbed it right b4 it went in. At 2ish we had another big pickerel that cut our 6lb test against the ice. That was that. Bout 5 inches by 3pm. We jigged... we sonared... we used the Aquaview. Nothing happening below. We tried from 5ft to 30ft. No signs of life below. We moved a few times. Most of the other anglers picked away at a fish here or there...but generally speaking it was terrible action. Let's hope it picks up.
All fish caught on fat heads.
