It was a great day. Only odd thing is that early on was some of the worst fishing of the day for us. We only iced three fish between us between 7:00 and 8:30. Then things really took off, just about the time they usually cool off. Only 1 fish over the slot today, one other I could have probably tail pinched and stretch and got him there, but on the other end, 18" was probably the smallest fished iced today, with the bulk of them in the 20-21" range. We definately were in the honey hole, only two other groups today and only saw one fish caught between the two groups.
It was a good thing it was foggy when we got there, if I had seen the entire bay we would have probably packed up and moved to Mud Creek with everyone else instead of drilling some test holes and trying it out for a little while. The reports from mud creek don't seem quite as positive as ours. Wasn't very much ice cover over the bay, but the ice we were on was 4", clear and black. I've definately fished on worse in my time.
