Hi,

Left the house in Winsted at 1:00 PM.
Drove to Winchester Lake -> Not only was the boat ramp parking lot full, but so was the main parking lot loaded with vehicles like a can of sardines.
Thought to myself ->" I'm not going to fight this MOB"!
Took MacDonough (dog) home then drove to Burr Pond.
Got on at 2:00PM.

Re-opened some holes Phil had drilled the other day (Still 7"+ ice) and started jigging with spikes and butter worms, and chummed the holes with mashed up canned cat sea food.
Caught 2 small Yellow Perch and 4 Blue Gills.
Things where getting slow, after about an hour, so I moved about 40-50 yards to the west.

Drilled 1 hole and chummed it -> Before I even got the jig in the water a Crappie flashed by the hole just under the ice.
Was in 9 ft. of water and started catching Crappies at all depths immediately.
In the next 1 1/2 hours I caught 14 Crappies (all hand size) and lost about a dozen.
When they got slow I chummed somemore and back they came with a vengence!
Cat food does wonders!

Action was fast and furious -> Crappies where hitting hard.
Nearest persons to me was in shallower water to the north with traps.
Total was about 6 people on Burr spread wide apart.
Never noticed if they where catching anything -> I was too busy.

What a Great Day to hit a Honey Hole.
Sunny, Temps in the 40's, and very light wind.
Was a lot of FUN
Left Burr at 4:40 PM -> HAPPY

Congrats on the day!
How was the ice holding by day's end? Still strong at the edges or did you need to board out?

Nice job jigging through the ice!
