Got half a day in today. The 4 wheeler was still a little rough, but we got out and back with out getting stuck. The bite was on at noon and lasted till 2:00 when the wind picked up . The bite stopped as soon as it started. Got 23 perch and had one pike hit, but kept the pimple because I was using a metal leader. The ice is still thick and the snow on top is still drifting and at places rutty from the old wheel tracks from days previous. Only 4 perch were over 10"s. Glad you got the wife out Tom. How do you do that?
Hi guys, I will be taking my kids out on Renshaw Bay tomorrow seeking some pike action. Two questions, how thick is the ice and is the snow on top getting slushy yet? I don't want them getting wet feet.Thanks

Ole timer ya finally figured out what stink logs are for? Running over with a truck to fill low spots in the drivewayTill the coons eat em.
yeah i cann catch more then dink perch like some ...... that means you ..... hey becareful ...warm weather bee's will be coming out
Wow look at that! Old but not senile remembers crap from couple yrs ago! Catch more?I can catch a cold too doesn't mean I want it. Just like stink logs.
i didn't even know you actually fished
Nice stinklogs Trap!! What's the deal with the bees???
I remember now...going back a couple years!! Your mind is still sharp as a tack my friend!!!! What I don't understand is why...#1, if you know bees are present why would you disturb them? #2, why would anyone, bcons, want to stick your finger in the hole?? I think some spray foam in the hole would've been quicker and a whole lot easier!! YEP, some crayons are brighter than others!!! LOL!!
bcons found a bees nest on his porch and stuck his finger in the hole ,then wondered why he was stung 50 times ............. he's a ok guy just not the brightest crayon in the box ....ya know what i'm saying
The grand daughter and I are going to deplete the perch population on the pond today. Hope to see you out there . It should be a zoo out there today. Please watch your language out on the ice. I am not by any means a prude or self righteous. I've worked construction my whole life and I have heard a few good invectives and four letter Anglo-Saxon expletives. I do not, however countenance practicing myself or others flagrantly , at the top of there lungs cussing the same four letter word every other word from their mouths for an extended period of time. It may be the beer contributes to this lack of respect to others. I wonder if they talk that way at their dinner table. Do they have children of their own? Do they talk like that in front of their children? My grand son and I were fishing , only briefly in front of the Elms on Thursday when we were exposed to these yahoos. To the left of me , less than 50 yards was a family with a young girl, less than 10 years old I would say, to my right . another father and daughter of similar age uncomfortably fishing and tolerating this rude behavior. To you hooligans, who feel it is your first amendment right to ruin what was a beautiful day for my grandson and me, I say shame on you. At 69 years old , I am not going to confront you on the ice. I ask my fellow IS ers to condemn you. Perhaps just maybe these yahoos can develop a little conscience and practice some self discipline. It seems , I write this same post every year . I am normally the most positive person you will ever meet on the ice. It grieves me greatly to again write this post. I pray the Lord will give these hooligans a second thought before continuing their abusive effrontery to others. My grand children, your grand children do not deserve to be exposed to this kind of behavior. No one needs to hear this kind of vulgarity on the ice. Remember how far your voice travels on the ice.
