Several shanty’s where on Barbee yesterday I drove past on my way to North Webster for bait. I'm going to try Palestine and the backwaters. Maybe head up to TriCounty if I have time. Did you have any luck?

Caught one small gill at Palestine then went to the FWA and caught a undersize bass and a couple of small gills. Had a decent one get off right at the ice. Had some lookers but nothing would commit until right at dusk. Even then the few bites were very subtle.

There's about 4" of ice on the pond here. I didn't drill a hole, but there was a crack going directly under the pier and I could see it was about 4" deep. The ice is like glass.

I’m going to try Dewart Lake this weekend I got a tip from coworker said they did really good last weekend even pointed out on map where to fish.

I'm going to hit up a local private pond on Saturday if the ice is solid...gotta check after work tomorrow.

Budd:
What make/model and line weight do you guys use for Walleye and Lake Trout?

I stopped in atterbury on our way back from Lebanon this morning. Didn’t have anything to cut a hole, but walked out on the ice. It’s getting close, but I don’t think it’s quite yet there for me.

Had a great day on the ice yesterday. Three of us iced 62 crappie and 18 white bass, plus tossed back a bunch of small ones. 8" of good hard clear ice.

I heard there was one guy out on Pisgah. We stopped at stone arch. I really expected there to be guys on it, but there was none. I want no doubts in ice thickness when I’m on it, but I know guys will be out there on 2-3 inches.

Finally got around to eating some of the fish, mostly catfish, we caught out of Monroe over the summer. Coated with Andy’s cajun and fried some hush puppies to go with it.

Not trying to steal Whitetaildave's thunder but the wife and I just had one of our Winter time Sunday brunches. We had Lake Erie Walleye with cajun batter and some that I blackened we also had a couple Bullheads. The wife made Morel mushrooms sauteed in butter, eggs in a basket and air fried potatoes we washed it all down with some OJ.
Photos attached:
