Saturday found about 4-5" of ice with some further out between island and Marsh around 3"...Caught a few dinks and saw quite a few nice eyes hit the ice. Got to admit, I thought it was going to be a great trip until about 2pm when Mr. Windy came along with 30-40 mph gusts. I could ony watch as fellow icefishermans equipment went flying down the west end of the lake, buckets, tubs, gloves hats, not a pretty sight. Getting the shanty down and trekking back to land was a delight, walk five feet , slide back two feet and I was wearing cleats. More wind predicted today...so, stayin' on land today...Riverbottoms, from now on I will listen to you when you say its gonna get gusty...
