Okay so this is the first trip after final inspection, big wooooo hoooo... I had to go... Ice was 2.5", but it held up this fat bob so I did a little jigging, started off with 3 bluegill, one was 8" or so... I missed about 5 or 6 hits to each fish I caught... got to get my reflexes retrained a little better... Then I pulled in a monster 4" LMB, I think my Kastmaster was almost bigger than the fish... Then I lucked into two very nice crappie dinner plates, had to be 12" or more... Then it shut down so I went back to setting up shelves and appliances... But a fun morning bite... not bad for a Friday the thirteenth and I didn't fall through the ice... It did start cracking so I went back a few steps to thicker ice... Later J
When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
