Hey at least you able to kick the dreaded skunk off with the perch. that place sounds nice were there other people out on the lake? if so did you talk to them and were they getting anything? let me guess you guys were not using hand augers to get through 20" of ice i can't remember the last time i had to drill through 20" of ice.

Getting out with friends and family, that what it is all about.

Getting some fish is just a cherry on top.

Glad you managed to shake off the skunk on the last day.

Andre

all hand augers.we spoke to a few different peeps and all said the same"she is not giving anything up today".must have seen 50 tip-ups in the three days and never one up.the week before my son was catching 3-5 a day.i think the bait{smelts} moved out and the lakers followed.some folks were staying over nite in there shanty's and not getting anything.was pretty cool watching peeps driving their cars and trucks on the ice.big lake so there were no crowds.everyone was searching for them.even the guys fishing for burbot were
complaining.spoke with peeps that were fishing different parts of the lake and it was all the same,no good.she can have round #1 but i am going up again next year to even it up.just a great place with everything ya need real close and plenty of good fishing with in walking distance of the parking lot.the regulars we spoke to said that was the only area they ice fished.lots of lumps,drop offs and flats.we fished on hump that came up to 12ft from 52ft.at least i got to wash all
the jigs in the box so they will be clean for next year.

Talking Re: no lakers but great trip.

No lack of effort on your part. You guys always fish hard. It was tough all over for the most part. I’m a true believer that the full moon makes the sweet water fishing tough! You’ll get em next time for sure! Glad you guys got out there and had some fun! It’s all about the time spent with family and friends!
