Fished today from 11-430 with my wingman (what a day, fishing in a t-shirt). Walked too close to the BIG rocks and broke through-luckily only to my knees, and hit bottom. To my credit I was carrying the running auger and didn't lose it. Must have been a rock spire below the ice transmitting heat up. I knew the ice looked bad but thought "it's January." Live and learn. Fished the rest of the day with sloshy boots. We iced 20 rainbows and kept 6. The biggest was a brood hatchery fish we caught on the first hole. They started biting fast at 3. Early in the day corn on small gold jigs worked and at the end it was wax worms on a bare hook.
Great lake!

PS the good news is we still have an auger, the bad news is my feet are going to be pruny and eventually cold.
