That was new years eve day. It was raining like a SOB and I had to walk through the woods for about 45 min before dawn to get where I thought I could get onto good ice. Nope But after walking that long there was no way I was turning back. The ice at the bank was rotted until about 10′ out so I walked through the water to get on good ice. It wasn’t that deep just over my boots so I had wet feet but it was pretty warm out. Anyway I was using 6’6″ rod and everytime down the hole for the first hour produced a slab. This one was the biggest at 13.5. I don’t think I caught a fish under 10″ inches that day. I kept 10 for the pan and the rest went back for another day. The best part is I had it all to myself. Plenty of guys tried to find a place to get on but after some puzzled looks they decided against it.
Your efforts of gettin on the ice payed off…nice crappie congrats..and congrats on figuring out how to resize your pic…took me a while to figure it out…Jay
