Sounds like some tough conditions there Kent. I'm curious, why did you decide to walk to the East side of the lake to fish? Ira and I were thinking about going up there a few weeks ago but that was just as those bad slush conditions hit, so we decided to wait, glad we did after reading your report. Is there a reason you didn't name this other BFT member that you meet up there? Bet that was pretty awesome seeing those deer crossing the lake, were they a long ways from you? Thanks for the report Kent.

"... why did you decide to walk to the East side of the lake to fish?"  Because most of the anglers have been fishing on the west side, where they access the ice.  It has been my experience that the catching is often better when one gets away from where the fish have been pounded hard.

"Is there a reason you didn't name this other BFT member that you meet up there?"  We didn't accidentally meet up there, this was a planned trip.  We drove separately because he planned to head home earlier than I typically do.  Because I haven't fished with him very many times, I wasn't sure if he minded being named in a post.  I took the safe side of not mentioning his name.  If he chooses he can reply to this thread and then he will no longer be a mystery. 

"Bet that was pretty awesome seeing those deer crossing the lake, were they a long ways from you?"  Yes, it was neat seeing so many deer crossing all at once.  They crossed just north of the bay where the boat ramp is located.  That was probably a couple blocks from where we were.  They crossed the ice from west to east.

I don't mind being mentioned at all!  I consider it an honor to be able to fish with someone like Kent!
I had a great time.....yeah, other than the slush.  Sucked the energy right outa me.  I'd like to hit it again but with the snowmobile next time.  Maybe tomorrow (Thursday Jan 19th).
