Pretty much like everyone got to the shop at 630 to find it packed. Thats a good sign to see, they been having tough last couple of years is so they need all the help they can get from us.

Now pretty much everyone been going to either one of two places so not to be a lemming we packed and went to the third. Got that and were greeted with some open water toward the shoreline. Debated and debated and decided to take a risk and get on the ice where it was much thicker. Two test dummies were send with rope to check the ice and after hoorays and sings of relief off we went. Only 4 of us were fishing the spot and that was awesome.

Badger would of had a field day. NOT a SINGLE PICKEREL. Not even a tap. Tip ups did all the work, jigging was not existent. As mentioned not a single pickerel came through, neither did bass which usually we pick up at the spot. It was all perch and nothing but perch. On a side note we did loose a waldo at the hole. Bastard. Ended a day with about 40 perch for 4 of us with pretty much all being between 9 and 12. Someone did managed to find us afternoon and looked like had some decent time as well.

Ice was solid 6 inches all the way to the open water.

Tight lines to all and be safe.

We will have interesting weekend coming up.

Andre
