Cold and windy Horseshoe Granite City 1/4/11
Went pheasant hunting at the shoe yesterday and seen like 1waterdog said the water was open, only some skim ice around the shore. So since i've had cabin fever for awhile now I went home and threw the old 12 foot jon and troller in the back of the truck to give it a try today. Didnt want to get out the big boat since its winterized. Man was it a slow cold ride, but well worth it. Had my limit in a little over 2 hrs and continued to fish and have fun a little while after that as they were still hungry. Line started to ice up and eye holes started to freeze about 10:00 so I got outta there. Caught all fish on white/char jigs even a few doubles I thought were hogs till I got em in :cool:. The wind may keep it open for a little while, but the the ramp off bend road was surrounded by ice all the way across to the still mill levee road.
