First Trip of the Season


Fished with Doug Sowa out of Bolles Harbor. Temperature this morning was 10 degrees with a wind chill of minus 4 degrees and when we quit fishing it was 15 degrees. The wind was out of the southwest 10 to 20 knots. The ice is 6 to 8 inches thick. We used spikes and shiners. Started fishing in front of Trout's and we did not catch anything. I made several moves up the harbor and never had a hit. Doug came and joined me up the river and he caught a couple of small bluegill and 1 eight inch perch. Fished for 3 hours and then we called it a day. Talking to some other fishermen as we were leaving and no one had any fish. Some of the guys had their cameras down and they said there were a lot of shiners, a few perch and some bass on the screen.
