Coyote hunting? Hi trapper heading up north anytime soon?
just got off the pond. bout 4-5 inches of ice. a few iffy spots out deeper. the wind was pretty rediculos. the bite was slow. and a bit chilly out more then normal. i think it was about 5-10 degrees with the wind and all.
uhhhhhh On an ice fishing site posting "it was a bit chilly, the windchill was 5-10 degrees" will get you virtually flogged. 5-10 degrees is reason not to complain, the forecast of windchill tomm morning of -10 to -20 is a reason to jump up & down screaming HECK YA!!!
hahahahaha well it was almost as if winter had come. lol. wasnt sure if thats what it was or if i was feeling things lol. for a min there thought about bustin out the waiders andtrout stuff. was getting ready for trout season. buuut i cant complain im gettin use of that there new shanty
B-cons wind chill does not make ice thicker ...wind chill is a effect ...makes it "feel as" if is not a tempture
I fished gp this morning. Decent ice about 6", BUT ONLY striaght out ie due north of the docks! Most locked up a bit, but you can't venture any farther than 80 or so yards west of the docks. Cracks & open water all over the rest of the pond. It's impossible to get on at the elms, there was NO ONE there. I took a couple pics will post later.
But how was the bite...?
Oh yeah... did someone fall through in front of the Wigwam yesterday???
I can't believe (including the wife) I have not been out on the ice yet. I'm really hoping for this weekend, but won't go unless I can get to my honey hole. Never seen it it like this, but then again the past 4 years on the pond have been great.
