River Channels
Hit the ice for a couple hours before work, Ice has 1 ft snow, 3 inches of slush, pretty cruddy ice but about 10 inches in the spot I was in. Plenty of fish sitting in a hole but no bites, saw a lot on the camera, nothing would bite. Weather is warming hopefully get the boat out soon.

Panfish were shallow but primarily shallows next to the channel, nothing in the backwaters and slews yet. Great time with the family, small in size but good fun for anyone.
