Let's see the pics !! You guys are crazy going out on that sketchy ice but at least you got some fish!!

i wasn't sure how crowded it would be so went elsewhere nearby. 20 fish between 2 guys, pickerel, perch and bass, nothing big, jigging was slow. took one pic just cause it was the first ice trip...and forecast isn't looking promising for any other options becoming available the next week

What, you think I wasn't out early last year?! I think I missed the first ice weekend because I was trying to smash ice out of my boat to get to spots...unsuccessfully I might add.

If I don't say it isn't going to happen, it won't happen! I'm always fishing, I just don't care if it's ice or open water. it's the half ice purgatory I hate and looking at the forecast that's what we will be getting...again!

Wah, wah, wah...... there will be safe ice from today on, but if your in between give me a call I'm setting up a tog trip for later in the week

Well that all depends on what boat you pick this time! Hahaha.

I'm planning on open water fishing next weekend, that's all I'm saying!

Ahhhhh,

Always a blast to hang out with hard core maniacs. Mike had the grill going like a pro ....thank you very much. Just to rub it in boys flags started to fly again after 3pm. Managed to even land one on a jig rod with a 2 lbs test.

Of course one day was not enough for me so was out again yesterday. To all ice stayed the same and was a fun day indeed again. Even in the rain.

Should just get better and better. Only one missing was our hat eating champ.

A taste from yesterday.
