Like a spring day

Dave and I decided to try for whitefish again. We headed down to Green Bay and on the way down the sun came out and the clouds disappeared revealing a beautiful springlike day. It was so nice that we didn't even need our shelters. I had forgotten my fish finder so Dave set up close to me and he would say, "fish down there! Ohh he is gone". Soon I would either catch a fish or get a bite. I would thank Dave for sending the fish my way. Dave kept loosing them and then he broke off his jig, I'll let him tell you the story some day. We ended up with seven fish. I had five and Dave had two. We stopped at Franks on the way home to give Kathy a fish. She had requested one fish the day before when Marge and I stopped by and Frank gave me a ride on his ice boat. Lots of fun. A good start to spring and ice fishing.

Warm day, didn't need the tent up.

Nice whitefish in the sink.

Trucks on ice

Dave and I fished the same place as last week but with a different result. The fish would swim by my lures and go and bite Dave's. He caught 4 and I caught 1. I blame it on Marge as she brought bananas into the house. Dave asked if I said their name and I admitted that I had. He said "bad idea" and said that from now on refer to them as the "forbidden fruit".

Dave also claims to have lost a lure to a whitefish and another lure to a large pike. If you catch a 36 inch pike with a lure hanging from its lip, it is Daves.

It was a real nice day on the lake, the sun was out and there was no wind. Ice is a foot thick and there are lots of trucks driving on the ice.

About 50 trucks on ice in Green Bay
