    Hit some gills today dropping next to logs. Had a nice tip up smash, but he dropped it. Ice is a little mushy from the snow but still strong on the inland lakes ...more of metro Detroit. Staying over 4 inches + of ice on every lake I checked this weekend

    Little man and I hit it this morning. He worked in about 3 on his own, now on an ultra light spinning setup. This one was our best, and the pics didn’t do a great ...more job was just a hair over 3lbs.

    Maximum 65 feet deep. Focus on the areas in and around the holes. You can catch fish on all the usual baits but one of my favorite is slowly fishing a spinnerbait along the deep weedlines.
