Several more spottails as well. They seem pretty abundant here. Tomorrow, I think I'll bring some tip ups and use them as bait if I catch another.

I guess these guys are everywhere! I've never heard of someone catching a spottail ice fishing, but I'm not complaining. This guy got put on a tip up real fast.
