Fished Ontelaunee Lake today for the first time this year........
There was a guy there when I got there, but he left shortly thereafter........said he was catching gills and perch
Ice was about 6-8 inches.........most of the snow has been blown off the ice by the wind
Fished from 9am to 5pm
9-100 pretty steady action with gills, pumpkinseeds and crappies....caught one yellow perch, one white perch and 3 largemouth bass
100-230 was slow but caught gills gills and more gills
230-430 was pretty good.....lots of small gills........the fish got smaller as the day wore on....a few small crappie also
430-500 Dead Sea maybe one or two fish
Most fish taken on small Fiskas tungsten jigs tipped with a nuggie and a spike
Tried spoons, but only caught a handful of fish on the spoons
The showdown was acting up........I am guessing the area was really cluttered up.........marked fish top to bottom......the showdown was all squirrly today..........really didn't use it.......
