well just got back from my scooting trip to huntington.. good news there is ice on huntington but i did not have the brass to give it a try.. i got about 10 feet out and in started spider webbing under my feet so thought i might not give it a try today.. and i only had my boy with me and he's not strong enugh to pull my fat a** off the ice if need be..
so was going to pack it up and go to E-lake.. on the way back i looked down on fairview lakes and seen it had ice as well.. so we went down to check it out.. got there and walked out on the ice about 10 feet and punched a hole looked to be a good 1 1/2" of blue ice.. cool i said lets check it out alittle deeper.. went out another 20 feet try again.. about 2" blue ice.. sweet it's fishing time.. i got Robert set up and helped him get it down... then got my pole set up and droped it down.
well after about 10 min's i got a hard hit and missed it.. but it got my bait.. so i brought it up to check when i heard my boy's drag going off turned in time to see him set the hook again and start reeling.. sweet the first ice fish of the year go's to my B-Day Boy Robert!!
well we fished there for a while longer but did not see any more fish.. so got up and headed out to deeper water..the ice was about 3" thick there and about 8' deep.. my boy was done fishing seeing that he cought the first one that's all he had to do..lol
so i fished for about 20 min's there pulled in 2 rainbows.. and said ok lett's go he was getting cold..
