I went up Monday with a friend of mine. We got set-up & were fishing by about 8:45. Let me tell ya. It isn't easy setting up a 6'x12' pop-out portable in high winds.
Anyway, for the first few hours it was as good as fishing gets. Reeling a fish up on one line while standing on the other rod so that one didn't go down the hole. I wish that we would have been there an hour earlier
Lots of 13"-14" saugers with a few larger wallys mixed in. We threw back many keepers in hopes that the catching would continue. It began to slow down about 10:30 I guess & was slow as heck by noon.
We were marking some fish after that but they weren't interested in biting. We prolly caught 6 more from 1:00-3:30 when we packed up with 14 in the pail. Overall it was a good day of fishing & I'm trying to figure out when I'm going to get up there again.
We were at Morris & the ice was about 14" thick. There were a few cars & small vehicles out there & of course the resort trucks with the plows. The must have been letting some 1/2 ton trucks out later in the day.
Zipple is letting trucks out & the igloo is on the ice! The crack seems to be freezing up now at Rocky Point but still white caps by Springsteel.
