Fishing was sure slow yesterday. I was out for a few hours before the game and only managed 6 small gills. As it turned out I should have stayed on the ice instead.

There was about 11 inches of ice. The best lure was a small glow jig on a buzz stik. I bought one at the end of the year last year and thought it was just a gimmick but I had the same jig on both poles and caught only 2 fish on the other. I would get the jig down let it sit for a bit and hit the button and would almost every time would get a bite within a few seconds. I was even looking down the hole once while doing this and watched a nice gill come racing in and hammer it.
