Got on to some rainbows in the morning. Caught around 10 in 2 hours from 8-10 am. They bite anything but mostly like the shiny stuff in my opinion. Caught on a gold forage minnow and wonder bread forage minnow. Sat on one spot in 15 feet of water and was jigging from 4-12 feet below the ice. Biggest one that was caught was 18 inches, and the smallest was around 10 inches.

Much better day out on Big Watab today. Was out from 1 pm - 7 pm. Still relatively slow, mainly fishing for crappies. But got on a decent sunny bite and ended up keeping 8 sunnies and 4 crappies. No crappies caught till 5 pm. Caught a few bass and small pike as well. Mainly in 17 feet of water on main lake points and humps. Caught all on different colored clam flutter spoons tipped with either a crappie minnow or wax worm. Using a medium light st. Croix mojo ice rod with a 13 fishing thermo ice fishing reel.
