Boy what a day on the ice!
We made it on the ice and fishing by about 8:30 am. There were three of us and we drilled our holes and dropped our bait down, it was so fast and furious, you didn't have time to try and set up a second rod. It was every drop for a while. We didn't catch a fish on every drop, but it wasn't because they weren't there, we just missed a lot.
Then around 11:00 am, it shutoff. We threw everything at them but the kitchen sink, no fish. From 11:00 am until 5:00 pm, between the three of us, we caught about 15 fish. A couple of rainbows and the rest cutts.
The cutts we caught today were fat. Most were 20er's. The biggest was 22 and the smallest was 18.
I caught one that had that whirling disease. One poor ugly fish.
The snow is far too deep for 4 wheelers, the snow mobiles were struggling a bit to pull the sleds through the deep snow.
When the fishing got slow, we played on the snowmobiles. That powder was great!!!!
