We hit the ice around 9 AM and we were pulling fish out by 9:30[sly]! My daughters caught the first 4 fish within 15 minutes. Fishing stayed consistent throughout the morning. By noon we had landed just over 40 bows. We had about 30min without a bite and a large school came through....we ended up with 10 poles bouncing with fish on all of them ![[Image: surprised.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/surprised.gif)

! We were all laughing at ourselves trying to land fish. My friend and his boys were already talking about "next time" we go. All shades of pink were the ticket...some tipped with night crawler and others without. Surprised we didn't touch any pan fish or bass? We left around 2:30pm and between the 6 of us we landed over 50 rainbows-what a day! Smallest 12 " to largest-caught by 9yr old boy-was18"-we lost 2 other 18"ers too. I'll try and remember to post a couple of pics tomorrow. Fishing close to the furthest north parking lot (you have to walk to it due to it not being plowed). Happy New Year to All!!!
