Hit into a Honey Hole
Message:
Hi, Left the house in Winsted at 1:00 PM. Drove to Winchester Lake -> Not only was the boat ramp parking lot full, but so was the main parking lot loaded with vehicles like a can of sardines. Thought to myself ->" I'm not going to fight this MOB"! :thumbdown: Took MacDonough (dog) home then drove to Burr Pond. Got on at 2:00PM. Re-opened some holes Phil had drilled the other day (Still 7"+ ice) and started jigging with spikes and butter worms, and chummed the holes with mashed up canned cat sea food. Caught 2 small Yellow Perch and 4 Blue Gills. Things where getting slow, after about an hour, so I moved about 40-50 yards to the west. Drilled 1 hole and chummed it -> Before I even got the jig in the water a Crappie flashed by the hole just under the ice. Was in 9 ft. of water and started catching Crappies at all depths immediately. In the next 1 1/2 hours I caught 14 Crappies (all hand size) and lost about a dozen. When they got slow I chummed somemore and back they came with a vengence! Cat food does wonders! thumbup Action was fast and furious -> Crappies where hitting hard. Nearest persons to me was in shallower water to the north with traps. Total was about 6 people on Burr spread wide apart. Never noticed if they where catching anything -> I was too busy. :wink: What a Great Day to hit a Honey Hole. thumbup Sunny, Temps in the 40's, and very light wind. Was a lot of FUN :D Left Burr at 4:40 PM -> HAPPY :!: SeaDog1 :mrgreen:

ice thickness?

Congrats on the day! How was the ice holding by day's end? Still strong at the edges or did you need to board out?
