Title: Saturday 1/27
Post by: icebucketjohn on January 28, 2018, 10:51:46 AM

Decided to try the ice despite the high hesitancy and warm temps.  Fished Nimmy  8:30am-1:30pm with son (Nathan), Dan Buckzeye, Evenrude Carl & his grandson, Bobby.  Conditions were wet, rainy & miserable.  Drilled 100 holes in different areas trying to find fish. Drilled in deep weeds, drilled in shallow weeds, drilled in shallow structure, drilled in deep structure.,drilled in deep water...Fished with monnows, minnow heads, waxies, & maggots. Tried flies, spoons, ants, tungsten,... All to no avail. No luck.  Altogether I think we iced 15 perch. Wonderful cloudy day, but the rains really added alot of water on the ice.  Ice was solid 5-6". Shoreline was surprisingly excellent.  Drying everything today.

That’s good news!  I might try somewhere tomorrow morning if I can get my flat tire fixed today.

I have been finding Nimmy has changed a lot in the last 2 years. Areas I have done well in at different times of the year have all died off. I am still trying to get back on them like I use to.

z400wolverine:

It's not like we were stealthy, but simply in another part of the lake you couldn't see us.
