I strolled back out to commerce lake again today, and sat on the ice for about 3 hours,
I managed to pull in 8 gills and 2 crappie. though the bite was slow and to make things even more chalanging the bite was light to say the least.
patiance is the key word for today's adventure, of cource I left before the main bite set in,
dispite the worm temps during the day (mid 30 - 40) the ice is holding its own. (8 inches) the real test is wensday and thrusday when temps hit near 50 degrees.
the night time temps expected between now and wensday are dropping in to the mid to lower 20's so we should not loose any ice, the temps fryday and saturday are suposed to drop back to 20's at night and 30's day light.
