We came; we saw; we caught; we are Happy, Happy, Happy!  ?

Arrived at 8 AM to a calm 28*F.  JJANNIE (Jill & Jeff) were there as well along with another SnowDog owner and his bride of 2 years (they are both almost 80 ?).  We conferenced and then headed out to the killing grounds.  First of my 59 perch hit the ice in less than a minute after dropping the invite down.  I immediately said to myself: “SELF; this is gonna be a good day!”

Big Earl and I proceeded to battle it out for the lead – back & forth; forth & back.  We finally called it FINI about 1:30 PM.  As I mentioned, my take for the day was 59 perch.  Big Earl was just under 50 with a couple of bows thrown in for good measure.  The wind was ALMOST not there, and the sun warmed these old bodies up nicely.  Ice is still 12” plus and there is a couple inches (4 or 5) of snow on top.  Maybe a thin layer of slush here and there.  Edges are still machine ready.  This was one of those glorious days to be out and about communing with nature.

And now, kindly have your children leave the room as its time for the fish porn.

Congrats Bob, sounds like a great day!!! Glad you got some perch stocked up... Anything over 11"? I'm still looking for a bump on the contest... Thanks Jeff

Looks like a nice haul and some good sized ones too. Always fun to have good trips like that and also great weather to boot.

 It was great seeing everyone impromptu. We all kept ourselves safely distanced. Our location maybe wasn't quite as good as yours but still we brought home slightly more than we had planned to before finally calling it day shortly before you did. A beautiful day for sure.
