Two Skunks And A Bunch Of Loons

 

4:30-5:20PM SW NE

I got the Trophy vacuumed out. I went down front; Our bay was 20% ice-free. I drove N Platte Lake Drive. Ice pushed North along the F Flat shore. Didn't see much open on Rock or Bulldog. Channel Inn Bay was almost completely open, and NPSI was close to being ice-free. Fished for 45 minutes and didn't get a bite. It started sprinkling as I arrived home.

7:30-9:15PM SW B

No bites again. A minnow or two after dark was the only sign of life. shining off the bridge after dark, a "mudline" was clearly visible in the current flowing into Sully. I've never seen that before. I'm mildly concerned about my chances of catching something this month. Hopefully, Platte loses its ice tomorrow.

Ice and GOMH Skunk Report

 

Bulldog

Checked around the area lakes. Platte and Rock are pulling away from the shore some, and the water level is really high. Still, 2 to 3 days away from ice-out, I think. A guy with 2 teenagers was at the bridge watching birds and taking pictures when I arrived. I started fishing, and they left soon after. Another guy stopped by for a little bit. He said a buddy told him he got a bunch of crappies here last week. Not! Had a few loons flying around and calling. No bites. Stayed until dark and didn't shine anything. I feel good about my chances of getting something by Thursday night.

Open water now East of South Point Small Island

NE Side Water to the steps

I got Bentoned and Bonus Pointed right out of the money at Lake Murray in the BBC Group today. I got a bit of a late start due to eating chicken. Nobody was there. Heard a few loon calls. The SPRO is wide open. It wasn't too cold as I was wearing my ice fishing bibs, and there wasn't much wind. NO bites or signs of life. Two swans flew by in the dark.
