02/01/08 Delavan Lake overcast/snow 29 degrees. Winds NE 10-15 mph. 10-11" ice in the northwest bay. We had a good morning catching gills and few nice crappie fihing jigs tipped with plastics in 5-8 feet of water. The pike bite "again" was not happening. No flags. Talking with a few other fishermen over the course of the ice fishing season, the pike catch rate is down. Many of the pike being caught are between 24-28", lots of young fish swimming.
