Dropped by Clydes to grab some bait last Sunday, before hitting Belle Grove and while being waited on, there happened to be another fisherman heading to the same spot. Followed him down and hit the ice a little after lunchtime. A small group of guys were already fishing and amongst them was a noticable bright orange hat. Since my auger and tip-ups appeared as if alien equipment on the pond
, waited until the crowd thinned before checking if ol' orange hat was Tommy Robinson, indeed it was. It was a pleasure meeting and talking with you Tommy.

The afternoon was pretty slow for us and the others, I did see a small Rockfish caught along with similar size Crappies, and we caught a few small Yellow Perch.
Small results
Even with the slow action it was a great day to be on the ice, lots of sun, no wind and firm ice and met a fellow Ice Shantyer. Thanks again Tommy for the heads up, might hit the last pond next weekend if the ice holds.
