Title: PLX Sunday 1/7
Post by: icebucketjohn on January 08, 2018, 06:20:45 AM
Met Bob at his residence on West Reservoir Sunday., walked down to the ice to see his "Shanty" all set up. His "Shanty" is the Taj Mahal for PLX (truly a Lake Erie Set up).... huge..probably 8x10, wood floor, wood burning stove, internal lights, etc. Man, what a set up. Plenty of elbow & standing room.
Sorry to report that in 2 hrs we didnt catch a fish, but the comradere' and conversation was outstanding. (Think the dozens of snowmobilers and ATV's had a lot to do in shutting off the bite). Looking forward to some tight lines from of that shanty before ice out.
