Fish Farmer Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Buddy and myself caught 20 Perch and a couple bonus Pike yesterday. My Buddies was caught jigging a Williams spoon yellow with a red stripe and mine on a Williams whitefish 1/2&1/2 Man it was cold out there, ice was cracking all morning, then it happened. I was checking around drilling a few holes looking for a better spot and BANG what a explosion, right beside me the ice jumped up and overlapped near me. My machine and myself must have slid forward about a foot. Never saw that in my life, Was like a earth quake, had to check my pants. Guys watch driving & walking around out there, lots of soft spots. Don't mind the pictures took them on my old cel phone, my camera was frozen. Edited January 23, 2014 by Fish Farmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Some nice fish there. I imagine that was pretty scary with the ice moving like that. I, for one, would not like that to happen near me!! I bet you froze your butt off out there, it's so bitter out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you drilled a hole the water froze and my boots stuck to the ice. Happen to us this year Dave. 6 guys just standing by a crack. BOOM. We all jumped and watched a 2 ft crack close up 18 inches.

I've been hitting Erie a couple times a week, not catchin many Perch, it's been slow. Some nice fish there. I imagine that was pretty scary with the ice moving like that.

You got that right Joey, haven't seen it stay that cold for that length of time for years, even next week it's going to be bitter. Mr Heater has been getting a work out.
