Hit Ririe about 2:00 today. It wasn't smokin hot by any means, but in two and a half hours put one rainbow and 4 koks on the ice. Nice size koks, 12-13 inchers I would say. Made for a tasty dinner tonight, and you know? I didn't share!

There is this bald eagle out there that tries to steal your fish. I had my rods stretched far apart when something made me look up, it was beginning its decent onto one of my koks. I know what your thinking, it's a bald eagle, give one up you big stinjy. Know this, that eagle and I have a long relationship and I have sacrificed numerous fish through the years to its voracious appetite. One of the bravest birds I have ever seen. It's worth it just to go out and see it up close and personal.

Little soft on the edges but nothing to worry about, you can get around it. Ice is about 14-16 inches thick. When the sun was out and directly on it, it sounded like popcorn, but when the clouds came in it was dead quiet. It's good solid ice.

I have seen that Eagle many times as well. Last Friday it helped itself to 2 big suckers that I had kicked away from us towards the shore (although I'm pretty sure I saw it puke when it tried eating one!)

That shallow popping in the ice will be a little unnerving when you hear it going on, but you're right, it's good and solid right now.
