Lots Of Luck On The Coldest Day Of The Decade!
So I decided to head out to Lake Ripple this past Mon. It was a bit cold, with the weatherman claiming wind chills got it down to -35 degrees F. I believe him, because within 10 minutes of my arrival spray from my auger had got stuck on my eyelashes resulting in both my eyes being frozen shut! So around 6 am I managed to finish cutting my five holes and bunkered down for the wait. Long story short, ended up with 5 flags in 3 hours, which yielded 5 total fish. 3 bass (2 of em nice size) and 2 pickerel (one fattie.) So all in all a great day, even with the shoveling, the cold, and putting my foot down deep into an old hole. CAN'T BEAT ICE FISHING! Can't wait to
