I was able to get on ice all day on Monday. Living in the "tropical" southern 1/3 of the state, I knew that Monday might be the last day for any local ice this year so I really wanted to take it all in.
A buddy and I were the only guys on the ice, to our surprise there wasn't anybody else there! I took a minute to take this pic of the rising sun....beautiful!
And then the crowds showed up around mid day. Let's just say I was a little crowded and didn't enjoy the evening moon!!
(its gotta be cold, how do you not know or why do you not care??)
We had a good day and combined caught easily over 100 gills.
