01/23/06 Delavan Lake, partly cloudy 29 degrees. Winds north/northwest 5-10mph. Ice thickness 4-5". Caught a few bluegills, all pretty small in 5-7" range using spikes in 3-8 feet of water. I tried to find the healthiest weeds possible which is getting to be very difficult with the snow cover and lack of sunlight. I set tip-ups in 3 to 10 feet of water and managed to catch two Northern Pike one 24" and 28". One using a 6" sucker and a large fathead on the other. I saw many flags between a dozen fishermen or so. It seemed the fish would run out 10-20 feet of line and drop the bait. Even though we are experiencing our first true solid ice, the fish are starting to follow mid to late ice patterns. Good Luck All
