Went back up Thursday to avoid the weekend rush. Cold start at -22°F with a good wind. Happy to be inside a permanent house. No fresh snow so no more drifting. Ice was very noisy with the cold weather. Saw a big pickup truck drive off of plowed roads from McKinley Park to Ely Island without getting stuck, but the truck had very wide tires and a good size lift. A light snow is predicted Friday night with a 5mph wind so there could be more drifting this weekend. Temperatures this weekend look a little cool, but not cold. Fishing was much better 3 days later. Caught my biggest yet this winter at 26 inches. She bit very light and didn't resist much until she saw the hole. Then she peeled out a lot of line before I could bring her in and conduct CPR (catch, picture, release). Fished from 7:15am-6:00pm and had good bites from 8:00-8:40am and 1:30-2:10pm. Outside of those windows I had very little action. Chubs were much more productive than shiners this time. Marked many suspended fish but couldn't get them to bite. Had better action when I would lower my minnow to the bottom and lift it up slowly. Found a good way to reheat Zup's polish delites on my buddy heater. Tasted great after my one-week low-fiber diet. I counted 40 permanent houses from McKinley Park to Ely Island and Birch Island. I assume more houses will go out this weekend, but I bet a lot more will be pulled off the ice before the last week of the season. Beautiful sunset to end a great day on the ice. Good luck fishing, be courteous, and please pick up your trash. Just 9 days left of the season. -
