Hit Silver today and there was a crowd. Half fishing shoreline and half fishing deeper water. Consistent fish bite in 22 feet of water, east of the launch, just a little past midline. Smaller sizes today and took some sorting to get some OK sized fish, only a few broke 9". Fished with my usual black shrimpo jig, glow beads, maggot and perch eye until the buggers ate my plastic; Then just continued w/ the black jig head. Jigged a few inches off the bottom.

Lake was cold today with some sleet/rain mixed in. Good thing I was fishing with a buddy who'd brought a pop-up shelter - really made for a much nicer outing. There were a few other shelters out there today; Weather really called for it. Caught all our fish out of 2 holes in the shelter. Between the two of us, took home about 50 keepers. Bite died down for us around noon (as has been the pattern past two weeks); Bite appears best from 8-11:30

Sounds like fun...I sat out in the cold for 2 hours and caught a couple dozen but it wasnt bad for a short trip. What shelter were you in? There was a red, green and a black shelter that I saw. I was with my kids...they were ice skating. I hope the ice holds up through the next 5 days of rain???

I saw your kids ice skating - great idea for keeping 'em occupied if they aren't interested in fishing. I hope they watch out for those 10" holes though - easy way to break an ankle maybe.

We were in the black shelter; Man it was nice (my first time using a shelter and heater). Just the simple fact of not having to break off ice from my eyelets after reeling a fish in was priceless.
