Title: Nimi north end 1/29/14

Felt so good to be back on the ice, if only for a brief time!! ;D Too cold to stay long, forgot my extra propane bottles. It was so cold, the holes were steaming after I drilled them. Ice was good 8-10". Went on behind the pizza shop, but used my Navionics app to find a different spot away from all the holes over there. After seeing nothing shallow at all, I decided to set up on the edge of an old road bed I found with my phone. There were green standing weeds all around it. Was fishing in around 11' of water. Gills were coming in 6"- 1 foot off bottom. Hitting chartreuse pin-min with a waxie jigged just off bottom. Took some coaxing, but they'd bite it. And once they decided to bite, they clobbered it!! Probably would've cleaned up if I stayed any length of time, hoping to go prospecting again here on Friday. My Navionics showed a deep hole just 20 yards further out from where I was at, thinking the slabs might stack up in there. Want to check it out! Here's a couple pics. Several 8-9" gills and the biggest (the one I'm holding) was almost 10". It was so cold, my tape measure froze to the ice, thought I was going to break it trying to get it off. the fish were freezing to the tape on contact too, fun day!! But not bad for less than 90 minutes.
