Title: PLX/OSP Weds 1/11/2016
Post by: icebucketjohn on January 12, 2017, 07:27:16 AM
Managed to get on PLX/OSP ice after work.  Fished from 5pm-6:30pm.  There were a few guys on the ice when I arrived, but when the sunset came and rains started, all of them exited.  I was ok in my Clam Nanook Shanty and getting hits on minnows in 10ft of water for a while., then the rains started coming down heavier.

I wasn't at ease nor comfortable staying out there solo and I decided to book it. 

I caught 6 Crappies and kept 4., all on minnows.  The bite was still "ON" when I left, but my conscience got the better part of me.

Looks like that'll be the end for a couple of weeks.

It'll give me time to adjust, add & improve the tackle & gear.
