had about an hour to kill before i dropped my grandson Brenden off at home... so he lives right down from one of my panfish lakes. took him out and hooked him up! 8" hybrid on his first fish!! He caught him on an UL ice rod with 2# test fluorocarbon in about 12 ft of water on a small tungsten jig ... fire tiger color pattern tipped with a live waxie.

That is amazing Greg .I scouted a lake nearby yesterday just over the border in NY and was surprised it was completely ice free .
Have not fished in 2016 yet I am ashamed to say .
