Went out today on chrysler pond today with my sister and my 2 nieces from florida.It was there first time on the hard stuff ever.What a fun time even though we only caught a few bluegills jigging.I was laughing my butt off watching them inch along on 6-7 inches of clear black ice,jumping the cracks stating they were gonna fall thru.Got to try out the new predator hooked to the polaris sportsman.Went and checked copake Lake in the cove there was 6-7 inches of good ice.I will be hopefully going there the day after christmas.The new shanty is a keeper for sure can't wait to get up north soon.
