Made it out this afternoon for a few hours. Fished south of Vagabond on the East side in about 45 fow. Marked fish continuously until a little before dark. All the fish I had on the sonar where dinks 12- and I caught somewhere around 8. At primetime the cigars disappeared and a few nicer fish started showing themselves. Lost one decent fish about 23-24 inches at the hole....couldn't decide if I wanted to gaff it or not! Everything went OK all night except I was a little slow on the setup-takedown deal compared to last time I ice-fished in March. It will get faster with practice.
The ice was about 5 inches where I was at. I don't give up easy....I'll be out again tomorrow!
