[cool]Nice report, Frozenover. I also went out to the Hailstone area but on Saturday afternoon. Got on the ice about 1:30, and finally got over the to point across the lake and my hole drilled at about 2:00 or so. Stayed till just before dark or so. It was dark by the time I got back to the car.
Anyway, got 26 perch and one small 'bow. It was fun even though I was fishing solo this trip. I would have caught more perch but I was fishing an area that had some brush down on the bottom and I'd get bit and then the fish would kamikazee it into the brush and hang me up before I could even set the hook. This happened probably 10 times. Lost about 5 jigs, but It was still worth it. Nice trip and awesome ice weather, but now I'm ready to chase the walleye and kitties this Spring at the big brown pond in Happy Valley!
