Cher once sang, "If I could walk on water!".. Hmm, well apparently she isnt living right! [laugh]
Yesterday after an early morning adventure spent at higher altitude, in 30mph W and temps starting at 2 at 7am, and finding bite slow at best, we choose to drop back down to Fish Lake and arrived about 12:30pm.. At Fish Lake it was a balmy 14 degrees with just enough W that I had to chase my chair across the cap and half way back to shore at one point after I'd stood up to fetch another mini.

The moss seen below the fish was about 18" - 2' feet below the ice in this location. We tried to reach the edge of the weed line but the ice wasnt quite to our liking that far out so we had to settle with fishing several of the large pockets in the moss.
We found a bit of minnow or perch tipped on any common ice fishing lures got bit. In fact, 3M was simply dropping two size 8 bait hooks suspended above a split shot and doing very well. Here she's caught an imitation of a broken back J-13 in splake pattern,lol..

Heres a picture of Ron and me dancing on the glass coffee table

And the final picture shows 3 of the 4 Stooges With their Butts to the wind. BTW, I didnt have to worry about chasing my chair any longe,r it was frozen to the ice!. [

After the slow bite at higher altitude it was a welcome change to tickle the noses of a few Splake and Bows at Fish Lake.
I think one amoungst us proved it dont take big brass to do this. But it does require each of the leaders to out weight her by at least 100lb, LOL!
All in all the Pucker factor wasnt to bad,, perhaps a #6-7 on my Scale.
