Fishing Scary Ice 11/27/05
Well the waiting is over, the first ice fishing weekend has ended with mixed success. Saturday Zach and I fished 2 different lakes and caught a few fish but nothing to keep. To be honest the first lake shouldn’t have been walked on, 2 1/2 inches of ice was a little scary until we got used to the cracking.
Sunday was a good and a bad day, lets me describe the bad part first. It rained all day and there was an hour that was a downpour, with mist and light rain the rest of the time. The GOOD part was the fish were biting, we ended up with 2 limits of nice sized crappies. These were not the Red Lake 12-14 inches crappies but we saw 9-11 inch fish, not bad for a little pothole of a lake. I hope you enjoy the few pictures I took in the rain, I hated to expose my camera to the elements but the first trip of the year had to be recorded. In a few of the pictures it seems like we’re walking on water, we were standing in about a quarter inch of water from the hard rain we fished in. The ice was safe at over 5 inches in all the places we drilled holes.
Until the next outing,
