Of coarse this only happens in Ohio. I decided I would go home and take care of a few things and try to make the family life easier, then hit the lake about mid afternoon thinking the sun would melt the ice. Well at 1:30 pm I was off to the lake. The area I wanted to hit was wide open no ice at all. I threw everything I had to no avail. About 2 hours later I moved to the other side lake, and now it's about 3:30 as I'm driving to the other side I notice that a lot of the sheltered bays are still covered with skim ice. Again nothing! So I packed it up and headed out. I ended up heading towards home when I thought why not try some moving water. It's kinda on the way home and what do I have to loose at this point? So I stop at a little spot that bobberbucket had told me about just to see if I could get rid of the skunk. Well it worked, no crappie, but two bass and one nice perch! It was nice to get rid of the skunk, but the highlight was meeting Bigeyurk25 and getting to put a face with a name. All in all it wasn't that eventful, but it was nice getting out and meeting some new people. Sorry no pics, hands were frozen to pole.
Nice report! Way to keep pushing till you find them its the key to success! Bigeyurk sent me a couple pictures earlier looks like he caught a couple as well.
