I neglected to post our outing after asking for help with ice conditions, so this report is a bit old.
We ended up at Chicken Creek. Didn't start fishing until around 2pm. Not the best time of day, but I'll take what I can when it comes to family time. Fished for a couple of hours and iced 3 cutts and 1 bow. Largest cutt went about 20". Bow was small maybe 13". Lost one on the way up and missed a bunch of bites. Fished a variey of sizes and colors. Orange was the hot color of the day. 20' FOW and the most aggressive fish were within 6 feet of the bottom.
Cooked some hot dogs, ate snacks, had a few laughs and headed home before it got dark. My wife hates the cold and I didn't want her to have to feel the after-sunset temps.
