Maybe, just maybe, the poor ice conditions is a real blessing to anyone willing to hoof it out on a lake.  No pickups, no wheel houses can result in fantastic fishing for those willing to drag a portable or just fish the old way in the elements.  I went yesterday with my son and brother and had a great day on the ice. One other fisherman pulled his stuff out and fished about 1/4 mile away from us but other than that we had the lake for ourselves.  We caught 26 northern and 9 bass and as many sunfish as you wanted to catch as well as a few bonus crappie.  We had a flurries with multiple flags, but the best was 4 flags and only three fishermen. Before that was over we had a fifth flag so out of six lines five were out on the ice.   
 
It was a bit of a hike for an old timer but was worth it in the end.


My son with first fish of the day. This one bit before we go the third line down. 


Hey, look a flag is up. You get it I just sat down.


The bass were between 16-17 inches.

 


No real lunkers but we got a few respectable pike


Who says you can't catch a crappie on a tipup.
