Scofield 12/9

[slayerace]

Me my son my friend and his son hit Scofield today. It was 7 degrees when we arrived at 9 and 35 when we left at 3:30. It was beautiful all day with just a little breeze late. We were north of the island in 20' of water. We started catching immediately. With the exception of a few slow spells we caught fish all day. The majority of our fish were 16-17" with only a few 10-12". I am going to smoke some fish for the holidays and have some fresh sushi tomorrow so we kept three limits of nice big bows. We iced over 60 fish today, (50 for my friend and his son) I couldn't buy a bite even though I was 10" away from him and he was "vexilarless" I had the pleasure of watching 200 trout come up and sniff my bait and then go off to bite his and his sons jigs. We caught no cutts or tigers today. The ice was plenty thick all over. We had a HUGE pressure ridge break the silence today. It was the loudest I have ever heard, it sounded like thunder. It scared the crap out of my 11 year old as well as our other fishing buddies. Nevertheless it was a great day to be on the ice.
