I started out exploring for fish on the north end of the lake. I drilled lots of holes and peered into the fish camera looking for my quarry at each hole for several minutes. I was looking for perch and I found none.
The second stop was Somners Chute in the quest for walleyes. It was strike two after fishing this spot for one hour.
Next up was spot number three and hopefully not strike three. The locator immediately revealed that there were fish lurking under the ice. A quick peek with the camera and I was peering into the faces of some curious perch, crappies and bluegills. However the crappies were definetly tight lipped. They would not even take a helpless minnow that I was dead-sticking in front of their noses.
The trip in the air boat was very rough and slow, with no snow covering the bumps it was a tooth rattling day.
