      Humps

    Caught trout on something different than normal. Lipless crankbaits were working early this morning from 5-9 am. Sitting in 15 feet, off the edge of the hump in the photo. Jigging high in the water column from 4-7 feet down. The bright colors seemed to work the best. Barely jigging it as well. Just slight twitches.

      Humps

    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.

      Humps

    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.
