Comments: My day started at 6:00 am, little did I know that the bait shop changed it's hours to 8:00 am., with high hopes that I would find an opening in the ice. I bought bait and went to the Cove. Thank God it wasn't frozen. I started at the base of the Rangers Cove ramp, after and hour and a half of nothing, I moved to the mouth of the cove. Within 3 minutes of my first cast, I had a good hit, but I was too quick and must have spooked it. Darn! I proceeded to have 3 more hits before I finally brought in the brown. I released it back for another day. I got two more hits by 11:30 am, then absolutely nothing for the next 4 hours. In the words of Arnold Schwartzenager, "I'll be back!"

Comments: The launching ramp cove was solid ice. I drove over to the ranger cove, and I found open water there. Only problem was, the fish where not cooperating at all. The water level is still low, like it was in the fall. I thought they were pumping water??? See you in the SPRING. Walt
