I got out yesterday from about one to six... Went out by myself to Gray's Bay. Had to take the minivan because the sled doesn't fit in my car.
I was planning for some crappies, but I couldn't find them so I switched to bluegills. Once I found them then it was pretty steady action and I ended up keeping around a dozen that were big enough to fillet. Once they were all cleaned I got about an ounce of meat per fish, and it took me a long time, but it's fun to get out and bring home your own dinner.
I was fishing off the bottom in about 13 feet of water... teardrop with combined waxworm and red eurolarvae but with bluegills you could use either.
Not recommending going on the ice because I can't guarantee that it's thick enough. Where I was, the ice was about a foot thick, but this time of year is tricky.
Remind me not to keep panfish. Way too much work, even if they are delicious.
