On the ice at 6:30 and iced two fish off of Goose Island immediately. Then the action died. We drilled and moved all around Loop E (there were a few huts next to the honey hole by the rock) and only caught one 16" bow in 24' of water. We sat over the channel in 54' of water looking for kokes but didn't get a single mark on the Vexilar. About oone o'clock we buttoned up and moved out.
We set up at Stoll and the wind came up big time. The fish came in regularly though nothing was very large - they all ran 16-18" today. We hooked up about every half hour til dark. The jig-du-jour was the Ratso. Every iced fish came up on an orange Ratso. Orange Ratso with an orange head. Tipped with a waxworm.
The ice was totally quiet today as it never had the huge temperature swing during the day that we saw last weekend. Aside from the couple of huts near Loop E we nearly had the entire lake to ourselves today. It was great!
