26 Bluegill with my grandpa. First time ice fishing before Winter Storm Elliot. Fun tip- fish before storm, they go crazy.

Las one for now! 5/26, the day we bought the net. Getchyu a slipshot rig with a small circle hook, one of those 50¢ cans of sweet corn I won't shut up about, and go catch a bunch of carp over at lock 24 while you double up with, uh.. bluegill 😂 (not pictured sorry). The only tough part is, you'll have to walk out onto the open lock while the carp is hopefully pretty relaxed (this one was, others were NOT) to walk your little water dog over to the steps where a smart angler will have their net ready. This idiot had to do reverse hyperextensions with angry carp, but now I have a net! 👍
