Sunshine, Blue Skies and a Few Gills


Fished with Daryl, at a little lake in Unadilla. Dale was a no show today. Temperature this morning was in the middle 20s and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 20s. The wind started to blow out of the southwest at 15 knots but because we were fishing a canal we were out of harms way. The ice is 8 inches thick and the lake has a little snow cover. We used small jigs tipped with spikes and mousies. The water was only 3 feet deep and we were fishing about 1 foot off the bottom. One jerk and the fish are out of the hole, pretty nice way to fish. The fishing was pretty steady all morning until about 10:00 AM, and then we had fewer bites and the fish that we caught were smaller. I had a lot of bites but just could not catch them, though I caught at least 2 dozen cisco. We kept 18 gills between the two of us.
