NWMA had a match there from 10:15 to 13:15 with results good and bad. Top four weights were 7.9, 5.4, 4.0 & 3.0 lbs. The "bottom" eleven others were from 1.9 lbs down to skunkings ;-( I only manged 19 fish(all gills) to weigh in at 1.5 lbs. Beat sometimes board poster Chris Tag. by a whopping .3 lbs LOL. I don't believe anyone caught a crappie large enough to weigh in(9''+). A couple of roaches were caught, but the usual gills made up most of the creel. No electronics allowed during the contest, so afterwards I got my Vex to see if I could catch more fish. Had some marked, but getting takers was another story. Did have one that looked like a guided missle zeroing on a plane. Man, that thing from the bottom to my bait(about 4' off the bottom) damn fast. Looked cool on the Vex. Unfortunately the rest of the fish would just sit there and were not interested in biting.
Ice was 11 - 12''. Took a water temp about 3' down and it was 34 degrees.
