Well here we are again, another day in the cold and wind. When I give last minute notice more people show up. Myself, Outofline, MikeyTopaz, DuckorBleed, DuckorBleedJr, Jimmylivebait, NjBassman, Jackstraw, Mike the Pike, Joe and his girlfriend met up at Barnes on Hopatcong at around 9 am. NjBassman and Jackstraw were on a mission to jig something off the humps in the deep. They both caught some perch, but not what they were looking for. Me , Mike and Outofline set up our big baits. 10 inch Trout down a 10 inch hole for Mike. 6-7 inch Suckers down the holes for myself and Outofline. Everyone got there Tip-ups in the water and after that it was jigging time. Perch is the word of the day, why, cuz we caught a shitload! After my careful calculations, between the 11 of us that were jigging, we had easily over 100 Perch for the day. Only other fish we got were 3 Pickeral. Some guys caught 3 Perch, some got 20. The Perch we got were all between 9-14 inches with the exception of a few Pumpkinseeds. Biggest Perch was a 1 1/2 lbs on the nose. Mikey Topaz was in a funk today, poor kid couldn't get a raise if he was on Viagra. I saw the disappointment in his face. But he had other things going on. He's a great fisherman and everyone has there bad days. DuckorBleed and the other fellas had some great stories to tell. Lots of BALL BUSTING on this trip. Jimmylivebait, NjBassman, Jackstraw and the rest of my boyz are all GREAT fisherman and have AWESOME personalities. Couldn't of asked for a better day on the ICE. Even if the wind was blowing 15-20 and gusting to 30. As always GOOD TIMES, TIGHT LINES!!!!! YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDY!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. If I left anything out fellas, feel free to chime in.
