Always a good time when your longtime buddy Fishwrestler shows up with Snickers candy bars for everybody. It set the tone for the day, we fished in 17 FOW just off of the buoys that are out in the Hailstone bay. Fishing was steady for 10-12" rainbows with a few bigger ones. Fishwrestler caught the bigger ones! The ice is a good 6" thick with a couple inches of slush on top. Quite a few other guys out today all over the bay. We used a variety of baits, most everything worked, we tipped our jigs with night crawlers. My little daughter hooked up on one small perch, one fellow came over to visit and said that he found some larger perch in the fall, but hadn't found them through the ice. All in all, it was a fun day on the ice, and the fishing was fairly steady. We're better at fishing than uploading pictures, i'll try to include some pictures for the next fishing trip.
