Title: Saying goodbye after only 2 trips.
Post by: slabslayer on February 20, 2016, 09:06:49 AM: I believe it's now time to officially say goodbye to this ice season, barring a miracle. It goes down as a freaky sort of year with 2 brief ice rounds. After going well over 100 times the previous 2 seasons, only got in 2 trips this year, for a total of less than 4 hours on the ice. Once at Nimi and yesterday at OSP. Not totally unproductive, got a couple nice perch at Nimi and a very nice big bass at OSP, along with the dinks that always come. Just a season that fell short of hopes and dreams both in terms of length and times on the ice. Shanty and gas auger never left the basement. Never got to use my new palm rods either. But it could've been worse, I could've been skunked when I went, or worse, never got out at all. All this short season did was leave me wanting more! Come on 2016-2017 season!
