I put my new arctic armor to the test today it was cold out there but I was warm, except my finger tips. Also got to try out my new B&M 10ft. crappie rod, it worked good too. Gduck & I hit the spot we been catching em at 1st thing only got 1 y.perch & 1 pickeral left there went to one of our tidal river spots. When we got there the boat was frozen to the trailer but we broke it free. Got out in the river and catching was kinda slow at 1st. ice in the eyelets bad, but then we found some good schools willing to bite. Gduck gave me a Wally Marshall clicker counter that I put to good use today as we clicked in 119 crappie of which 50% were real nice, released all today.We caught em casting and letting it fall , slow vert. jigging and slow titeline trolling. Water temp. was 38 at 1st. & 40 when we left, most fish were caught from 12ft to 18ft .
