First outing on borderline Ice 😲

Met up with Matt & Joe today for my first walk on the water. It's definitely one of those be aware of your surroundings day! We were on 4" but it was limited and dropped to 2-2½" beyond the lip in the ice. I didn't have a slamming day but did get

Nice work, Keith. Looks like you and Matt were on the same pond. Backgrounds are as sketchy as the ice! :P
Being on ice is nice but the tug is the drug.

Not your usual pigs but not a bad start. Nice! What do you have going on in that second pic, jigging a fluke?

Way to get out there Keith and Matt. Sketchy is the word every where. I'll be giving it a go tomorrow for the 1st time this year.

Why the blurred background? I thought you like sharing where you fish :P

People cry when you spotburn and people cry when u blur out the background.. Cant win Keith lol

Then again, i have noticed those complaining have been on the site for several years and only have about 200 posts (IE: Lurking)..

Good job getting out man.

The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad.

Thanks guys! The blurred out background was nothing more than humor. Anyone that knows me, knows to just ask where I'll be, and I happily tell them. Round 1 was decent, first day getting a bass is ok in my book. Matt even got a semi-biggie 😆🍻 @ 4.11 👍 Whenever you're walking on water, it's a fantabulious day. Round 2 post coming up soon. Round 2 today had a great ending!

Thanks, Keith!

I'm relieved to hear there was enough ice.  The report I had received earlier in the week wasn't encouraging.

If there's enough ice where you fished today, it's giving me hope - - I may try another pond (K of C) just down the road.
