Thin ice Brookies
Brian ( Night shift) and I and I drove alot of miles to find enough ice to fish on ( for trout) we settled on a lakes region pond known for it's Brookies... I drew first blood with a fat brookie on a shiner in about 18" of water and missed a few more a short time latter one on a shiner.. one on a meal worm power bait combo...
Brian got the "money" fish with a hefty brookie that took a dillie in about 12" of water... we had to leave early as the ice was getting scary.. we only had about 2 1/2" ( the water was only knee deep) when we started... it was softening by mid day.... Night shift crawled on his belly to retrieve his last tip up... the big brookie had a 4" senko in it's gut..
Brian jigged all day... no interest was shown by the target species..
