BIGbites and I fished Pelican saturday afternoon. The action was steady but not as fast as we are used to this early in the ice season. We caught our fill of 8" - 9" bluegill and a few 13" - 14" largemouth bass. We fished the east side and the ice was 7" thick where we were but a couple guys about 50 yards to the north of us drilled additional holes looking for faster action and told me the ice was only about 3" in that spot. So thickness varies but overall conditions are good. The lake is full and the ice is good and solid on the edges. There were four other groups out on the east side. It was great to be on the ice on ol' Pel. [cool]
