First Ice Is Nice!!!!!
« on: Oct 25, 2008, 09:29 AM »
WARNING!

ICE IS NOT SAFE!

DON'T DO WHAT I DID!

I'M STUPID AND HAVE NO REGARD FOR MY OWN SAFTEY!

Alright now that thats out of the way. After a little searching and a little hiking I found some "safe" ice and some willing brookies around 11,000ft.





Ice was maybe 2 inches at shore and thinner as you went out. Lots of cracks and super thin ice everywhere. I found a spot where I could get maybe 5 feet off shore. In about 1-2 feet of water. I caught 3 brookies in 30 minutes and then I heard a loud "ice groan" and my right foot fell through the ice. I decided to call it a day after that.

There was not alot of snow on the trail.






I came home to one angry puppy.



She couldn't belive I went fishing with out her. I told her it was for her own saftey but she was pissed.

This indian summer is killing me! This last weekend I made sure the auger was ready to go, batteries were charged in the marcums, and tied jigs on. Gear is ready to go and God know I'm primed. It looks like it's all going to collect dust by the time ice is ready! :'(
