Ice

[Chris_JC]

I was out on Friday for 1st time this year. Didn't realize Bait and Boat opens at 7 during the week so got a later start than usual. Very pleasant day with little wind and some fog/snow flurries and some clearing at end of day. Using the biggest shiners they had 4 flags - 1 pickerel about 23 inch and one fat pike about 33. I opted to keep 5 tip ups in the water and did not jig - ice was about 5.5 inches. I wonder what it is like after the storm and deep freeze. Hope to be out somewhere next weekend.
