Day For The Birds



Fished with Daryl and Dale on Mud Bay, which is part of Portage Lake. Temperature was in the upper 20s to the mid 30s. The wind was out of the south 10 to 15 knots (the weather report called for 5 knots) and the sun was out most of the day. We used a 1 x 6 to get on to the ice even though I don't think we needed it and once on the ice it was 8 to 10 inches thick. The fishing was very slow for us again today and Daryl must have drilled 25 holes trying to find some fish. We were fishing in 20 foot of water and only fishing 5 to 7 feet down. We caught a lot of small Bluegill (25 to 30) but we only had 5 keepers for the day. I fried them up with a couple of walleye fillets which made for a great dinner! Had the camera been ready,I could have caught the two swans flying about 10 feet over our heads, sure would have made a great picture.
