Arrive at Jakes Bay at 10am and headed out 1/4 mile. The wind was really blowing which made the sunny morning a bit colder than it appeared. The ice/snow is quite thick I had to extend my drill handle all the way out and I was on my knees by the time I broke thru, good exercise though. So I start fishing with a booger tipped with waxie, no bites. Next I try a curly tail jig tipped with meal worm, no bites. Finaly I decided to drop a swedish pimple with green power bait. The bait works and I hook my first fish. I say hook and not catch because I couldn't get the fish's head lined up with my hole and he broke off. About an hour goes by before I land a nice 19" cutt. After a quick picture I release the fish. That ended up being the only fish of the day. Still it was nice to be on the ice.[cool]
