I've been checking the ice in this spot for weeks now. 5 weeks later this year than last.... I was getting very punchy to say the least!! But, I had some instant relief today!! 4" of solid black ice this morning!. Pick my favorite little spot, in the right place. Dropped my line down, and got bit right away. The action stayed steady for about an hour. We iced 12 good keepers. But then the bite died and we caught 5 bass in a row. So we moved, and caught 5 more crappie right away. All in 22 FOW. I have to make this report short, because I need to go pick up the tots from day care. We ended the day with 15 keepers. Going to have a good old family fish fry tonight!!!! No tanks, but lots of 9-10" Caught about 30 fish. It was a great 2.5 hours on the ice! Brian lent me his Quickfish 2 to test out. Good thing, because my girlfriend worked a night shift last night, and was fishing on about 15 minutes of sleep. She was very tired, so she got cold, fast. The hut was great! Hey, Brian, I'll drop the money off early next week!!! I'll let the pics to the rest of the talking. Thanks for reading. Poor Sam isn't quite ready to bait a minnow on to a hook yet. She tried!! But had to do the walk of shame over to me to get me to bait her hook! Hahaha.. I told her to look defeated for the picture.. Found out I can jam my phone between the pole and the material, and it sticks in there good! Who needs a camera man eh! The sleigh fits perfect in the back the Pilot! Quiet drive home Yum!!
