Out at what I like to call "Deep South Newell" tonight and we fished a solid 6-8" of black ice, but 100yds to the east of us is wide open water. There were actually waves when we drove in. There are currently about 500 geese honking away and loving the open water. There are also at least two different packs of coyotes howling at the geese. Crazy times. Biggest walleye was just shy of 25" (a PB for me on this particular reservoir) and an absolute flurry of activity between 2-6pm then everything just died right off. We're all set up in the tent for the night and we'll see what the morning brings!
