				| The easiest place to catch some REALLY big sunfish/bluegill that I know of is Mansfield Hollow.  I have not ice fished there, but during the summer I was trying to catch bait for pike and the ones I was catching were way too big for bait.  Just cross the road from the boat launch and fish in the middle of the area where the tunnel is.  There is a very deep pool there and it's where I was catching them.  I'd imagine that's where they would be during the winter, also.  Good luck! _________________

				| Hi Bowhunter! 
 Just got back from West Twin.
 Got a late start today because of a maritime consulting job.
 Met up with 2 of my fishing buddies Rob and Glen.
 They got there earlier and already had over 50 mixed bag of Big Blue Gills, Crappies, and Yellow Perch.
 We fished with Kodiak ice jigs + wax worms.
 The bite was ON
     I had a good time for 3 hours -> We filled a 5 gal. bucket to the brim!
