1st thanks RU22 for the timely post yesterday, made sure to take the ice cleats, ice skate would be good also[sly] it was slick.
My 1st time up in this area, beautiful country. Arrived a few mins after 7 22 degrees and there were 2 rigs in the parking lot who were out on the ice setting up, loaded up the sled and headed down. Checked a couple of holes for depth on the way out and found a spot that was about 15.5’ deep and set up there (there is a point that comes out below the cabin an.d I was near that). Dropped down a tungsten jig in white with a meal worm, while I getting the other pole ready I was hooked up with my 1st rainbow. Got the fish and rig back in the water and then finished up the 2nd rod with what I would call a “wonder bread” pattern and a piece of crawler. Action was fast at times with lulls in between, it was fun watching the fish finder and seeing the marks come in then one or both rods would get hit. Ended the day around noon with 17 bows, 8 tigers and 1 each brookie and Grayling. Fished from 6”’ to a foot off the bottom. Ice was 5-6” where I was at, probably 13 groups of people on the lake, 47 degrees when I left
