Fisherman Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 12 foot springbok and I went out this morning early(still dark) from Gilford, walked out straight east until we hit a bunch of refrozen ice sheets, hmm, this doesn't look too good, right turn about 100 yards south and set up. A couple cranks on the manual auger found about 4-5 inches of good clear ice over 19 feet of water. The ice was constantly groaning and making all sorts of bubbly star wars sounds, never heard it like that before. A simple minnow hook and sinker was sent down and rewarded 12 foot with the first perch, I wasn't far behind, groping around in the dark for a minnow, set up the my F/F which immediately showed fish. The bite was pretty consistant, a mix of keepers and small ones that went back down the hole, just about any type of bait worked. By about 930 we had enough for a tasty feed, packed up and were homeward bound. If all goes well we'll try again tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
