[cool][#0000ff]Hey, that was really COOL, fishing with you guys again. Frozen holes and ice in the guides all day. Glad you had your power auger. Watched that guy with the hand auger having to get down on his knees to finish a hole in the deep snow, frozen slush and ice combo. Musta been close to 24" of drillin'.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The bite was slow and light. Got to practice my "touch" skills. Made a lot of "practice hooksets" without making contact with the fish. Still ended up with enough bitty perch and crappies for some "Po man's shrimp".[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Got checked by DWR on the way out. They had been using binoculars up on the hill to watch anglers and were checking for two pole permits on everyone they saw fishing with more than one rod.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Got some free entertainment when the paraskiers started playing on the ice. (see pic) I thought they might have been trolling a bit too fast, but what do I know? That's not my sport. Now, if I could hook one of those up to my tube (in soft water), I might be able to save on some kicking.[/#0000ff]
