Been out quite a bit. Gill bite can be fantastic then poor. Not catching many crappies during daylight hours. I have better luck at dusk and after dark. Tipping with waxies has been the most effective for catching gills.
Saturday was out for a long while. Fishing was not good. Although I saw a guy hammering bass. I didn't have any bass stuff with me. Did catch a couple small ones on my gill presentation.
Wasn't going to fish yesterday but had a little miscommunication with my wife and ended up going. Oh darn. Got out a little after one. Finally figured them out around 2:30. Caught gills almost every drop after that. Had switched to a hybrid ice fishing rod with a spring bobber and a smaller tungsten gold jig with a waxie. Very subtle bite that you wouldn't even know you had with a regular bobber set up. Unfortunately the rains came. Tried to wait it out but it came to the conclusion after a half hour it was not going to happen. Good luck out there. Rat.

Back in the saddle. Out Sunday and Monday. Daylight hours better on Sunday. Night hours better last night. No secrets out there. Plastics tipped with waxies. Yellow jig heads. The 1/64 got more bites than the 1/46. Ever buy a fishing item on-line and realize it was a mistake? I'll have to take and post a picture of my Markwaynejimbob get up that I'm doing to use these things up.

I believe our friend Low-Tech is purposely posting bad information about Monona Bay. I'm not sure his motivations but I assume it's an attempt to keep people away. Folks have been doing well fishing MB all week with good solid 10-12" of ice and no problems getting on or off. No sketchy ice around shore or out on the main ice other than the discharge north of the pavilion where there is always a little open water. For accurate information check out the D&S report they do on facebook or call them. Low-tech is either lying or fishing some other Monona Bay.
