What's up ya'll!!!! So sunday morning I head up with a friend to Winchester Lake with the hopes of fishing a new spot on the lake. Turns out we actually did fish a different part but not the intended spot. Yes we were on ice!!! Fished 10-15 yards off the shoreline from the embankment of the upper lot. Set up a row of 10 tipups from 3-6fow. We got 2 pickeral an 1LMB. Had a great shoreline breakfast while we observed the open water half way up the lake. A few hours of fishin', grillin' an chillin' then we packed it in at 11. I have some pics on my phone that I will upload sooner or later. Some guys like to be the first on the ice, perhaps we were the last!!!

How thick was the ice?

Michael, the ice was composed of 2"white ice on4"of the remaining black ice. Pretty much a done deal now. here's the pics from sunday: We were only willing to venture about 10-15 yd off the shoreline. Any further would surely have meant a swim Funny how highland lake was completely open and 10 min up the road we stood on ice. All in all I was happy with the season. Much longer than last year. Time to think flounder an togs in the sound!!!
