Fished with Doug Sowa. Temperature was 12 degrees this morning and it warmed up to the lower 20s. The wind was out of the Southwest at 10 knots which made for a little wind chill and the ice is 22 inches thick! We started fishing on Grosse Ile at Elba Mar Marina. Stayed there for a hour and only caught 3 fish, 1 perch and 2 rock bass. Moved over to a canal by the airport and did not even get a bite. As we were driving by the Trenton Channel we saw a chunk of ice on the shore line and decided to fish it. The only thing that Doug caught there were shiners. Every time I turned around to talk to him, he was pulling up another shiner. I told Doug that we did not need to buy bait any more, I would just take him out shiner fishing. They were the perfect size for perch bait. From there we went to Lake Erie Metro Park. We did not fish here because no one was catching any fish. We then went to a small marina just before Humbug and fished there. We caught our most fish here but we had no keepers. Another long day without bringing home any fish. Seems like everyone that we talked to had the same old story.
