Rough Ride to the Lake


Fished with John and Joe. We fished a small lake in Chelsea out by the prison. Temperature this morning was 26 degrees and it was snowing and raining on the way out to our fishing spot. The ride out to Chelsea was terrible, the roads were snow covered and the windshield kept freezing over from the rain and snow which made for a difficult ride to the lake. Once we got there safe and sound we had to walk through about 6 inches of snow to get to our fishing spot, which was not that bad because we built up a lot of heat on the way out. The only good news is that it quit snowing when we got there. Drilled 3 holes for fishing (about 12 inches of ice) and we never had to move, which is always a good thing. We were fishing in about 8 feet of water using small jigs tipped with mousies. Started catching fish right away but we had to sort through them. Stayed there for about 3 hours and we kept 47 fish. 43 bluegill, 3 sunfish and 1 crappie. We all had a great time and the weather was not that bad once we arrived at the lake.
