Late Afternoon Action In NOCO!!
« on: Nov 22, 2014, 06:53 PM »
Took the Lund to Boedecker this morning but it was capped, pretty thin by the boat ramp so I went ahead and put in, motored out breaking ice as I went, just as I was about to hit a large pocket of open water I ran into ice about 3" thick and could not get through it...my 17' Lund just kept getting on top of the ice and sitting there so I had to back off and return to the ramp. :%$#!:
This afternoon I decided to drive up to my crappie pond and check the ice conditions. Ice was crappy with the warm temps but still supported me good! :)  I caught and released 8 crappie and 9 gills before darkness set in. ;D

About 3.5" but declining fast!

Nice!  Gotta love those small ponds.  After another cold snap I'll be looking for some warm water species again.
