Great job on the ice. Thanks for sharing.
I took advantage of some warm weather yesterday morning and went out to jig up some fish. Hit the ice before sunrise and hooked into something in the first but lost it just under the ice. Took me about 45 minutes before I landed my first fish, a pumpkinseed sunfish. A little while later I moved slightly shallower and found a school of small Crappie. I managed one keeper there but threw a lot of fish back.
I moved along laterally at that depth finding more small Crappie but eventually found some keepers. Due to breaking a line I grabbed another jig rod with a slightly different colored jig head on it and used the same plastic bait I had been using. The little bit of color change on the new jig head seemed to make the fish more aggressive. Some holes I would catch a fish on every drop for a bit with something different coming through the ice each time.
I had a lot of fun and brought home enough fish for a couple of good meals. Hope to make it out again soon.

Nice job. A hit every drop if a riot. What kinda fish is this:
I recognize the perch, but what's the other?

That is a White Perch. Very good eating. Similar to Crappie with a little flakier texture. Very common here in Maine.

Nicely done with some fine fish. Never caught a white perch, those look like big ones; is that a normal size or is that one next to the ruler a big one in general? Some real good eating there!
Yes, I was talking to myself; sometimes even I have to ask for expert advice.
Both the White Perch were 12 inches and yes those are good size ones.

Awesome mixed bag there. I knew the yellow perch and the crappie. I had never seen a white perch
