First Ice
« on: Dec 15, 2014, 06:24 AM »
Finally got out on the ice this weekend. Caught tons of small perch and gills, but was a success in my book. Took some video with the Go Pro and put together a short video. Enjoy!

On Saturday there was 5-7" of ice but all the snow melted and became 1-1/2" of standing water on top

Thanks for the update.  The 30+ holes I drilled in Eastbay on Thursday all had 4-7".  On the main lake I was looking at 3-4" and less.  The tempts don't bother me as much as the rain we could get.

I have the GoPro 3 Black edition. Go with a model that has Wifi capability so you can use your phone for preview/viewing of video being taken.

Thank you for the info that's the one I'm looking at getting!
