First off let me say that there was alot of ice still today. 9-11" where we were fishing. That does not mean the ice is/was safe everywhere.
The first 200 yards out from the launch was covered with 4-6" of standing water which was rippling with the wind. Beyond that the walk was slushy, slippery, and really wet.
Our holes from yesterday were still open and were now more then 10`in diameter. They were done with an 8" auger. Holes under my hut were close to 20" in diamater.
Only a few fish today and the warm wind never let up.
Here are some pictures.
Here is a quick 360 degree view from my hut. The wind blows the wrist strap in the way.
