Oh yes, i have been out putting holes in the ice, i am in the north west/north central area of the state. Farmpond gills have been the most of my success this year, but had a fun day today... Sunny skies, decent temps and standing on between 12" & 16" of ice! That is the thickest i have cut through in my somewhat limited ice fishing years - arms got a workout. No crappie, but put several cats and a few perch on the ice. I think i feel a cold coming on..... may have to miss a day of work this week. :D
