well i got on the ice in trenton at 7:15 am sunday morning. a whole lot of cold out there. jigged and set a live minnow line for about 4 hours and not a single hit. that was also with hand drilling 12 different holes. ice was about 6 to 7 inches. so i left there with 3 tim horton cups, 2 empty pop cans,a broken pail, and a mcdonalds bag of garbage. not a bad haul since none of it was mine. so i headed to potters creek. on the ice with two holes drilled with the same set up,except different jig of course. by 12:30. stayed til 6:45 pm with out a hit and still enjoyed myself. long drive back to niagara but enjoyed the day and met a few locals will do it again hopefully with better luck next time i think with this extreme cold front that came in , it effected the bite since i did not talk to anyone else that caught anything

No hits, a hell of a long drive and cleaning up other peoples trash.
