First time to skeeter

[swedish nipple]

Well made my first ever trip to skeeter today. Fished the morning on the north side due west of the boat ramp around 9 feet of water. Marked very few fish and only caught one tiny gill. Ice was 4-5" but spudded my way around none less. Fished the after noon south of 88 about 3/4 of a mile due south of the parking lot.kept about 20 gills 1 perch and a 16 in large mouth. The ice was a solid 5". Reports of crappie caught in the area in the morning.
I would lime to thank the gentleman who brought his shanty out for the first time in 3 years and had 7 mice jump out and run around the lake. I do not know who he was but I know I laughed for at least an hour.

that reminds me of a trip once , was on the way out and it was a snowy cold day and a couple guys in a shanty were tossing fish out on the ice,   what they didnt know was that a long legged bird was standing beside the shack gobbling down the fish    my buddy and i laughed so hard we just watched     so now when i pitch my fish out i look for critters,  even eagles.....
