Pulled our 8x10 off long lake.Hardly any slush there unlike last weekend.Still 12" of ice but didnt want to wait after hearing next weeks weather.Caught 4 white perch and 1 salmon didnt slay them,but really nice out .Didnt need to use wood stove,rigid insulation painted black on a sunny day was perfect. Will get out one more mission but somewhere else.Be safe did step in some partial frozen holes but only broke in a liitle didnt get wet.
