Dave Koonce here….. just giving you an update on the Mississippi River Backwaters,,, finding 3 maybe 4 inches of ice.. lots of unsafe ice..had the hovercraft out… doing a little Search and Destroy Mission… found some bluegills and crappies coming on VMC Tungsten Probe Jigs the VMC Mustache Jig.. pretty much everywhere I went I found fish on the Humminbird Helix Ice but mostly non-aggressive fish. Gills were topping 8 inches Crappies in that 10 to 12 inch range.. It sure was great to be out on the ice… more updates to come The Tug is the Drug !!
