Title: Probably the last trip out - Sunset Marina
Post by: hnd on Mar 12, 2019, 08:57 AM

Harpenter and I settled in on a spot at sunset marina.  Not a secret spot as it was pretty much swiss cheese when we got there and we then had a blast catching about 50-60 white bass.  ranging from a 1-3lbs.  our target was a few eyes and we finally caught 1.  a nice 16" fish.

the ice was probably 12" thick however about 4-5 of that was super soft.  with 51 today and 60 tomorrow and probably near an inch of rain on the horizon the next 48 hours, I think we are done.  The farm pond in the back yard edges are nearly gone.
