Today was one of the worst days this year for fish catching. Started at 8 am and fished until 815 pm. I caught 1 fish and Mitch131 caught 1 fish. We didnt catch our fish until just after 8 pm then called it quits. We fished hard and gave them everything we had. Didnt even really mark fish until after dark. Once we started marking them they just wouldn't bite. We fished at the 15 and ice was 8 to 9 inch's. Edge was about 3 ft open. Water is only 6 inch's deep there so its not bad. Despite not catching fish it was still a great day. Was nice to talk to you Snowcone this morning. We figured you wernt on them either when we seen you walk off. Had a great time fishing with Mitch. If you get a chance to fish with dont turn it down cause your guaranteed to have a good time.
