Hit the lake yesterday for a few hours. Saw a few guys off of the Lansinger Rd. access.  I stayed closer to SR 43.  Bite was a little slow but still managed to take home dinner........and maybe enough left over for a sandwich or two.  Snow was about 4 to 5 inches. I long walk was a great cardiovascular. Ice was around 6 to 8.   

I like fishing after dark and taking one of those floating Styrofoam lights.  Auger a hole and set it up, then fish around it.  Sometimes doing it that way you can catch them a couple feet under the ice.

Well, after all the discussion about meeting trapperjon on Mogodore, I ended up staying home and watching giant gusts of wind blow whiteout conditions in my backyard.  

Wish I would have gone out............

I went out yesterday afternoon.........6" to 8" everywhere I went.  It's time to explore!!!

I've been told leaving fish on the ice is against the fishing rules. A guy up on East Harbor told me the game warden was issuing tickets for folks leaving fish on the ice. He said they enforce the rule concerning cleaning fish on the lake.     

Personally, I like a clean environment when on the ice.  Anything less takes away from the awesome experience and beauty the Winter season offers. 

I too have seen some sloppy sights out there.  Nothing like looking up and seeing a Bald Eagle, then looking down only to see a pile of trash. 

     

I carry 6.  Not certain why because I only use 2.  Mostly home made.   

Hang it at work.  That's where it'll get the most admiration time anyway.
