Got to the lake today and the ramp was iced over. It wasnt thick but about 1/8 of the lake froze since saturday. The day started bad when the trolling motor prop had to be manually spun to get it to work. It didnt get any better when I missed a decent fish. Then I lost my new handtied jig on some mystery hangup in one of my trophy spots. The place looks like VWV\/\/ on my depth finder but the water isnt low enough to see it. Around 2:00 the fishing got good when I started fishing a brush pile that I missed a fish out of earlier. My grandpa and I missed about 4 20+ fish before I finally got a 13,17,18,15, and a 20 inch. My grandpa also caught an 18. My 20 went 4lb3oz.

Notice the shirt

HA! Once the lakes up so that you can launch bigger boats we need to meet up there. Right now my grandpa's bass hound is about the only thing that will go in. About the secret spot, I catch almost all of my good ones in about a 200 yard radius. I found a new spot that Ive been getting HUGE hits in so maybe Ill get a new PB soon.

Sounds good. Ihaven't been up there since back in June/July but am definitely gonna get my permit this year and give it another go, I haven't been out on it in a boat in about 7-8 years.

I started fishing it in 98 but I fished for trout and bluegill 90% of the time. It was fun, we hooked about a 3lb perch (state record) that broke off, caught 20+ inch trout, and I got about a 15 inch gill. After I catch 3 more trophy bass I think Ill go for trophy trout, perch, and a gill so I can get the master and expert angler awards.

Ice on the ramp?

Now that is what I call devotion.

You are better than me.

If there was ice on the ramp I would have headed home.

But you all did good.

Great memories of a bad day gone good.

Happy New Year.
