Location: Menasha, WI | Got out on the ice for the first time yesterday. Fished out in front of the 'facility' in North Asylum bay. Marked a lot of fish in 14'-15' but only managed to ice a few smallish perch. Moved into shallow water and didn't mark anything -- the water was pretty dirty in 6'-8' feet.
Ice was in good shape but still only 4" in most places. |

| Picked up a few on the south end in 10' of water. Had to work for them. Biggest crappie came on a tip-up, otherwise the rest I got jigging. Samllest gil is 7-1/2".

Location: Menasha, WI | Nice catch Dave. I'm on my way out right now to hunt for the elusive perch. Not too optimistic but you never know... |

Location: Menasha, WI | Went out from Payne's Point this afternoon but there is an open, working crack about 1/3 of a mile straight out from the club landing that I didn't want to cross -- probably could have skipped over it but it it was good 4"-6" wide and you never know how big it will be on the way in.
Circled around to Fresh Air and drove out between Haystack and Mansurs. Smooth traveling. Marked a few fish and had a few sniffers jigging but nothing too active. I had one tip-up that got hit 10-12 times but they'd take 6" and spit it out. Didn't put any fish the ice today.
I didn't drive around much because I still need to build a little more confidence in the ice, However, if I would've been really motivated to do so I think I would've been fine -- 14" of ice as measured with a tape measure. |

Location: Menasha, WI | Was out early for the sunrise smallie bite and it was there like clockwork. Four fish (15"-18") in the 30 minute stretch between 7:20 and 8:50 -- not a mark before or after. Gold hammered Angle Eye Jr. w/ a minnow head in 15' on the edge of a reef.
I'll be out tomorrow roaming the mud looking for the elusive walleye.
