-28 degrees!
The car’s temp gauge barely made it above the C mark, providing minimal heat on the trip there.
Arrived at the spot by 9:30 AM.
A thin upper crust did it’s best to stop me from breaking thru at regular intervals into the 4-6” of slush atop 10” of ice.
One chilled Catherine, was the deciding factor to leave at 12:30 PM.
3 small Perch caught at 3 different sites in the general area (I kept moving in the hope of finding more cooperative fish)
I think the cold temps shut them down, that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.
I should have left later to arrive around 3:00 PM to fish till dusk, which may have proven more effective.
Here’s a couple of pictures:
