Just got home from icefishng...got kicked off the lake by the game warden...what a crock of shit....in the regulations the opening date for the lake is the 15th. Apparently "somewhere else" there is an update saying that the opening date of the lake is not until this weekend...so we got up at 5am and drove 1.5 hours each way to get to fish for 3 hours....what a joke. The game warden let us keep the fish since it was their error, but we still had to pack up and leave.
Biggest fish in our group was around 5 pounds. I caught 7 one pound Lake trout in the 3 hours. Ice was super risky(good where we were, but if we tried to go to my magic spot we all would have broke through and died on snowmobiles)...shit year for conditions.
