Stepped out on the ice at sunrise, and found the bluegills in 18' of water holding to the bottom. They were very cooperative, and for two hours I culled and released. No big fish today, just average size.
By this evening the ice was suffering....mid fifties all afternoon, still 46 degrees right now. Four inches of good ice this morning, probably junk by tomorrow.
Took one photo, grapefruit coloration on a male.
