I thought I was going to be done for the year with last weeks thaw, but we have been blessed up here with some cold north winds which seem to prolong my ice season.
Been checking access spots all week. Texts back and forth on the wheres and hows. Some were grim,some were ok,some were great. We decided on a spot and managed to get out on to some great ice. Shore line was a bit wet, but we knew once we got on, it was going to be fine.
Walkers dream out there . After humping out a mile, it was set up and get busy. And busy it got. Didn't take long to hear the flapping of a fish behind my hut. This while not marking anything. Then soon after, there was more ice slapping going on. Nicely done Rob. 8)
Knowing they were around, I hunkered down, turned some tunes on, eyes glued to the finder, slowed my breathing and just remembered what has worked in the pass. Well that was all it took. Fish comes in to sight and it,s on. Then another, and another and another. MY GAWD, I was sitting over the holly grail of white fish. So many hook ups. Yes I lost a few, missed a few, but I was in my glory. I was pretty quiet till I got my two fish, then after that, it was so much fun, I was laughing,singing and have a great ole time. MISTAKE
Sound travels over ice that has no snow. So what happened next, will remind me not to have so much fun. One guy moves in to my right, another to my left.
This guy gives me the shifty eyes as he walks by,,,,,,,,,,
Then this guy has the nerve to come over,,,,,,,,,,
Being the happy go lucky guy I am,,,,,,,,,,,,
I brace these two as if they were good friends.
WOW WOW WOW
What a great morning for this ole guy. Ended my day 10/14. Never have I done that in all my days on the hard water. Hell , hard or soft.
It was an awesome morning.
