TIMES --------------------- 9 am until 11am

CONDITIONS ------------- Warm

AREA FISHED ------------- Cresent Cove

WATER TEMPERATURE-- cold

FISHING METHOD ------- Tip Ups and jigs

BAIT/LURES USED ------- Large Shiners from Dow's

NOTES --------------------- We definitely lost some ice. But the main lake in the morning was trying to freeze. I didn't like the ice conditions so I only gave it a few hours. I landed a nice 23 inch pickerel and some small perch. Then headed to Budd Lake to finish the day off. 5 inches of ice is better than 2 1/2 to 3 inches. Hopefully the rain tomorrow won't kill the ice.

FISHING METHOD ------- Tip Ups and jigs

NOTES --------------------- Had a busy day chasing flags and eventually used all 2 dozen bait and called it a day. We jigged up a few perch and bass and pickerel came on the tip ups. nothing huge. My biggest perch was 13 1/2 inches. Total of 20 fish between Chris and I, be careful because today's warm rain might weaken the ice in the coves.
