Nice table of groceries.
And now it's your turn to eat some crappies. Nice looking fish.
The title of your post says it all! A real fine catch. Enjoy the eating! Here in the NE we are pretty well frozen up! 11 today and possible wind chills -11 to -25!☹️ I haven’t seen it that bad since my service days in Spokane. Those Alberta Clippers were something else.

It is cold but that is a nice pile of crappie. Thanks for sharing.
Not near as cold as a Skunk! :cheers2
Looks like a good day to me! Catching that mess had to take your mind off the cold for a bit! Are you fishing hard water for em?
Interesting way you cleaned your catch. Are you planning on Half Shell Grilling?
Congrats on a nice mess of fillets. Catching them would have warmed me up a bit...
Ice, yesQuote:

They are still hungry! 1.5” “cricket” plastics in hot pink are killer right now
Man that looks like a good time. It's nice to see a fellow Iowan! I'm new to ice fishing, what's all this warm weather going to do to the ice even though its below freezing at night? I measured 14" of ice Saturday. I would like to get out a few more times this week.
Awesome job. Nice table full of groceries.Quote:

Is 52f cold? I dont know, got a sunburn today but the fish are still biting. Bobby garland baits putting in work! Attachment 514172
Dang! How's the ice? I plan on going tomorrow morning. What part of the state are you from if you don't mind me asking.
I am in the quad cities. Im done for the year, cant get on this spot anymore the ice is melted away from shore 6 feet. There is still 16” of ice here, the top 3-4” is honeycombed. The sun did a number to the access.Quote:
