Fished here yesterday from sunup until 1 pm. PLENTY of fish in here right now! Problem is, most of them are dinks! I did catch enough for what would've been a limit for me of 7.5 to 8.5 inch gills, but I decided to not keep fish yesterday. Caught about 50 gills. Got one real nice crappie too jigging, and one on the tip down. Two flags, both dropped after letting out a foot of line on the golden shiner. Probably a bass. I also had a bullhead up to the top of the ice and heard a few others got a bullhead too! Ice was about 5 inches thick. Saw people covering almost the entire body of water from the park all the way to the island and out in the channel. And oh, best bite was when the sun was shining, 11 am until noon. Water is real cloudy so far, so that's probably why it was better when the sun was up.
