Fished Chippewa with futurestrader today, marked a ton of fish, multiple times where 2/3rds of the dial was completely lit up, didn't get any but they got some before I got on the ice, watch the mouth of the canal there's a huge buble and I went through first thing in the morning

No kidding how about the guy with the auger that was going to burn us holes!  Pulls the ripcord and fbombs as it came right out of the fly wheel.  We all had a rough day but it was good to see all those ducks in the sky and the sound of songbirds.

before I even met up with You guys I had a load of problems too, got to the canal to find the minnow container leaked all the water out in the car, went through the ice at the mouth of the canal, braid slipped on the reel an had to strip it all off, tape it, and re spool it all back on

Its safe to say all of us were having bad luck

PM me your name and number and lets hit it again soon!  It will turn on.  That Chippewa bait shop does not skimp on maggots or minnows
