We had a vistitor today on the BOG. As we were not catching many (any) fish, we decide to treat him to a tasty treat. At one point, I was two feet from him. He hung out with us for about 20 minutes. He even took down two 8" suckers. I believe that Frozen Shiner may have a few pics to post too.

**Note.. these were taken with a cheap digital camera without Zoom, so what you see is un zoomed. (if that is a word)**

I figured that you would post the pics. Even though we didn't catch anything, that was amazing to see. I will remember this day for a long time.

It depends... some spots had 9 inches.. some had 13 inches. No fish to report. The edges were broken up to the point that I needed a little speed to get the four wheeler off

Since we were not catching anything, he put down about $10 in shiners and two 8 inch suckers

You better put a cover on your shiner bucket next time.All he has to do now is look for the big guy in the orange suit and he will know where your at.I made the mistake of leaving my bucket unattended yesterday helping Dozindoug off the ice with his gear after he gave me a dozin giant shiners and my half /guess how many were left 7.And the worst part was he ate all the biggest ones.I LEARNED THE HARD WAY.

The water is now over the road. I dont think i have ever seen it this high during the winter with this much ice on it.

I figured that would happen. maybe the pond will freeze over the road.

Get some pics of this if you can. I guess we won't be driving out for the Klems derby
