Thanks Craig for the information on the ice being clear. started about 8:30 just to check out the boat after sitting for 4 months. Skim ice around boat ramp only. Boat ran and worked great so off we went about 930 when partner showed up. Crappie and white bass was plenty. about 20 crappie from 9-11" long. only one went 12". Lots of very health white bass. Only color that seemed to work on any fish was a light brown body and yellow tail. didn't matter if it was a swim tail, curly tail, flat tail. but if it wasn't a brownish color there was no hits what so ever. cleaned about 40 fish (why anybody wants white bass is beside me). But a great day on the water. very little wind all day and as the wind picked up the sunshine did also to get it nice and comfortable to fish.
