Elusive!

Those dang gills eluded me today. The only thing I could coax to hit a spoon were a few small LMB and one decent crappie. With the water being so cold I figured slowing things down a bit might help. Tried a Gulp minnow on a jig head 6' under a Thill mini shy bite float, which resulted in another small LMB. Usually works on those cold water gills but not today. Here's some pics., sorry, no gills!Attachment 412886Attachment 412887Attachment 412888Attachment 412889

Nice, thanks for sharing

I was hoping for a crappie or two today and gills were all I could find .
I’m happy with any I catch this time of the year .

Hey, you got out and caught fish, MR. Not a bad day this time of year!

Looks like fun times to me

Nice catches ! For what it's worth, I have the best luck slowly dragging the bottom this time of year for Gills, they can be shallow or deep.

No skunk, isn't that what it's about? Good job on catching some, and thanks for sharing.

Always good to be in the lake

We're starting to get skim ice!

What reel is that?
