Found that a squirrel got into the brand new Otter resort flip over. Ouch! Going to need a 4" square patch on the roof before its fisrt outing. 1st location lots of marks only one small laker iced. Moved around 1:30 as we hadn't seen a mark in about 45 mins. Set up on a hump and 1st drop, hit and a miss! Ouch! Stayed until about 5:00 and we managed 3 keepers and put a few back. Anyhow, back to the cottage and cleaned the keepers on the tailgate. Took some pics of measurements for the derby entries...BUT...forgot to add the laminated card! Ouch! Oh well...back at it in the morning. Lets not forget the card this time! Measured 8.5" of ice mostly clear in the second spot... the fisrt spot at 65 fow...not the greatest quality but acceptable to my standards. Quads and sleds all day up and down the lake

Lost a whitefish in the hole. I didn’t make it out to that lake, yet. Tomorrow I get the kids out somewhere. Nice filets!

Arnie

Forgot the meegs box at home. Its definitely a minnow bite as 2 of the 3 keepers were stuffed with minnows. The third had a herring in its stomach
