Me and my brother and 2 friends drove through the blizzard to Catawba state park to go on a air-boat guided ice fishing trip. We rode approximately 4 miles around the island to someplace between mouse island reef and starve island reef. We were in 28 foot of water. We ended up with only 6 fish. The current was really strong most of the day. I landed 2 and lost 2 at the hole ( stuck on ice/ lack of gaffing skills). The fish came on silver and gold pimples, silver/blue buckshot spoon, purple pimple, and jigging shad raps. Not many fish but still great memories ,that will last a lifetime, of fishing with my brother. I dont think i will ever forget when I had the biggest fish i have ever hooked, on ice, at the hole and he tried to gaff it. Then when he said "o no" and i look over to see my spoon wrapped around the gaff. Good times.
