11/08/2021. Mostly cloudy. Water temp 49 to 51 degrees. With my boat in about 10-12 ft of water on the north shore I found coon-tail that's still green. With blade baits I was able to catch bass with stop-and-go retrieve - cranking 4-5 seconds then dropping down to hit the weeds, and repeating.

CrappieTechniqueIce Fishing JigsSeasonIceStructureSubmerged Vegetation17 ft of water, hordes of bluegills and crappies in the weeds. They were rising up 3-4 ft to hit my tungsten. I started with a Fiskas Wolfram tungsten jig with a eurolarvae, and then when I started to run out of bait I switched to a Clam Maki Polli plastic in the chartreuse color.
