It was a nice day on the ice, despite the skunk. I was the guy beside you who missed the tipup. I had one more flag right before leaving at 3pm, which was just a hit and run. The ice was ok for walking on, but the shoreline quickly deteriorated after the sun started to shine at noon. Thanks to the guys who brought the pallets out and put them on shore, I'm sure I'd have had some cold wet feet getting off the ice otherwise.
I'm sure the evening bite would have picked up a bit, but that was an unusually slow day for the season close.
