With ice as bad as it has been in NC MA, We took the drive in search for ice. With a little luck and a bunch of help from other members on this site, we were on good solid ice within about 100 miles. Set up at 7:00am as the sun was coming over the trees and immediately got into the perch on the jigging rods. A lot of tiny ones but we ended up with a pair of jumbos for dinner. Flags were steady all morning and tapered off into the afternoon. Actually got to say hi to a few other shanty members, MillBillyMan, Manitron, and I believe IceHole was there as well. We wrapped things up at 3:00 to make the long drive home. Fantastic day to be outside. No trophies but a bunch of fish to keep us busy and good weather to boot! Now it's back to work and getting the gear prepped for next week.
