Got to your so called "Heaven" at 1:00. Parked at the marina and walked down to the ice. Lots more snow than there was yesterday afternoon. Lots more slush too! Got onto the ice and fished various open holes looking for fish. Nothing. One quick look from one fish was all I could find. Watched a guy go in to his hip as he was leaving the ice. Saw another lady go in to her hip on the way onto the ice. She managed to splash quite a bit and got quite wet. Her day was over!
Decided to continue my search for fish. Went to a couple of other holes. Still nothing. Decided to drill a hole in an open patch of snow. Got almost to the middle and took my turn stepping in a 10" hole. Never thought a size 12 Sorrel could fit down a 10" hole so slick!! I only went in up to my thigh, then the snowsuit & sweats bunched up and stopped my decent. Sure was cold! Boot full of water. My gloves all wet too. After I brushed off and got some dry gloves on I fished for another hour. Couple of fish swam through, but didn't care to inspect my offerings.
Oh well, some days are like that.
Waiting for Rockport!
