FISHED IT TODAY , PEARCH WERE AROUND 7" , GILLS AROUND NINE INCHES , AND THE PIKE JUST WEREN'T HUNGRY AT ALL .
ICE WAS AROUND 6" AT THE LAUNCH SITE , BUT IT'S THIKNESS VARRIES OVER THE LAKE , ONE SPOT I STOPED AT HAD BARELY TWO INCHES . BE CAREFULL !
FISH WERE JUST UNDER THE ICE OR ON THE BOTTOM FROM WHAT THE FISHFINDER MARKED , DEFINATLY A HIT OR MISS THING AS THEY WERE TRAVILING AROUND AND NOT SUSPENDED , BEST AREA WAS THE EAST SIDE OF THE LAKE ALONG THE FLATS .SKIP THE DEEP WATER , ONLY AN OCASIONAL BOTTOM FEEDER SHOWED UP THERE .
WALLEYE IN THE 30" RANGEAND HAMMER HANDLES (SMALL PIKE ) WERE BEING COUGHT IN THE SUGAR SPRING CANALS , BUT YOU HAVE TO KNOW SOMEONE OVER THERE FOR PARKING .
NEXT WEEK PROMISES TO BE COLDER AND THE LAKE IS STILL MAKING ICE , HOPEFULLY BETTER REPORTS WILL FOLLOW .
