Lake X 02/13
Message:
I hiked in and fished Lake X from 11:30 am to 1:45 pm. Although the edges in the shade of the east shore were solid and thick, the ice was only 3-1/2 inches thick 50 feet from the shore. Despite full sun, the water was clear down to only six feet. There was a decent wind that seemed to change direction every half hour. I didn't set any traps. I jigged with four different jigs in 20 to 22 feet of water and caught a fish with each one. I ended up with two seven inch sunnies and two largemouth bass, the biggest of which was 11 inches long: [img:f1f94fae85]http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/3421/img1538u.jpg[/img:f1f94fae85] [img:f1f94fae85]http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/6299/img1539a.jpg[/img:f1f94fae85] [img:f1f94fae85]http://img857.imageshack.us/img857/1959/img1540v.jpg[/img:f1f94fae85] The full sun was really hurting the ice. When I would put my metal scooper down, it would melt into the surface. I don't think that the ice will last for much longer. :cry:
