Couldn’t make my mind up this morning about were to ice fish today. Decided to go to Lincoln Beach and catch a few Whites for a fish fry and to build up my bait supply for the Spring Catfish Fling. Fishing was great. I used a 1/8 ounce pink jig with a Chartreuse Curley tail. Most were 8”-9”. Had two that were around 10”. I had planned to fish the spring but the gale force wind and 32 degree temp made me seek the shelter of the harbor. Finished the day with 69.

Looks like you had a bit of time on the fillet board to take care of em.
When I was doing more pan fishing I got it down to 1 min. per fish. I'm sure that pile of fish would take me a couple hrs. now however.
