Cooks Bay Sat.

[Bitsmith2k]

me and two buddies had it planned to get out on cook's for a day of perchin on sat. one buddy dropped out due to work reasons, so it was just a two man show.. got up there and on the ice for about 8:30.. drilled the first set of holes and within 30 secs i had a nice 10".. I'm thinking 'damn headhunter was right' got him on a jiggin rap with a couple power grubs on the treble.. figured it was gonna be a good day.. my buddy didnt want to wander around drilling holes so we stayed at our first spot all day.. after a couple hours in the wind, with only one more fish, i was starting to get a little cold.. so i wandered back to shore to get minnows (best move of the day).. once we started droppin the minnows down to about a foot off the bottom, we had a change of luck.. we ended up keeping close to 30 eaters for dinner.. i only managed a couple photos due to the camera freezing up, will add them when i can get them off of it.. ended up losing my rain pants (wore them to help with the wind) the wind / cold was too much for them and they froze and ripped off..

 

all and all a good but cold day.. cant wait to get back up there..

didn't sound too bad! too bad on the rain pants though. I never really heard of them freezing and ripping apart. sounds odd. lol

they were cheep plastic pants, the wind & cold combined with spilling water from the minnows probably did them in.. i've already washed and readied my 'good' pants for the next time..

Great report!! It was way too cold for me to be out there. Good on you guys to tough it out....it paid off in the end.
