Jig season

[Lakeerieguy]

Another 3 man limit out of Magee. Ice has not shifted or busted up but is getting very soft. About a foot thick today in 22 ft with about 7 of it being white ice.

Slow and easy is the only way out there right now. Stopped and drilled holes about every 100 yards. Lots of guys still running without a care .Not a wise thing to do this late in the season . More and more guys on foot as well travling lite.

2 of the females today were releasing eggs as well.

wow only a foot thick, loosing ice quicker than I would have guessed. Suppose to be close to 50* degrees tomorrow and forecasted 30SW gusts isn't gonna help any....
I have a feeling the jig bite from the boat will be a short window dodging ice bergs.....
