Well, I finally got out to do some hard water fishing. I went with Ryan who has much more experience than I do. We drilled a bunch of holes and set up half a dozen tip-ups. We also used a bunch of old iced-over holes to jig. Ryan got a few while jigging, but not a whole lot of action. It was a beautiful day just to be outside. In the low 40s and it was quite nice until the wind kicked. We saw a bunch of other people fishing on the other side of the lake, but we could not tell how they here doing. I how that the ice holds up so that I can get out a few more times.
