CONDITIONS ------------- Cool
AREA FISHED ------------- Woodport
WATER TEMPERATURE -- ice
FISHING METHOD ------- tip-ups and jigs
BAIT/LURES USED ------- shiners
NOTES --------------------- Lots of people out on the ice, 5-7 inches - black and hard. Jigging action was pretty slow (probably due to the clarity of the ice) with the occasional perch and the tip-ups caught some as well. Dave had a one pounder on one of his tip-ups and bunch of bass were caught up to 2-1/2 lbs. and several pickerel with the biggest at 25-1/2 inches weighing 4lb.5oz.
