First Ice
« on: Nov 28, 2021, 10:06 AM »
Plan A was open water fishing a pond 3.5 hrs drive from home, but a 1.5" cap thwarted that plan.  We had our ice stuff also but even I won't do 1.5" with temps above freezing and a nice breeze rustling our longjohns.  So onto Plan B with another 15 miles and then a 3 mile hike to a little lake I had never iced b4.  Got there and had a Oh cRAP moment with open water and only our ice gear. but a little recon found us some 3" ice towards the inlet and it was on. In 4 hrs we got 27 trouts and missed prolly 10. Not the size we were going for but a nice save to the day.

Not bad for someone who doesn't like icefishing  ;)

Nice pics!

With the recent weather, might be awhile before we can get after some perchies
