WARNING:::::: as a side note for those thinking of hitting the bigwin area....play it safe with these warm temps we have coming up... in the next few days...the 3" whiteish top layer was almost gone by the end of the day and we were breaking thru it... in spots on the way off....you guys may want to wait until there is more cold in the forecast the temps were on the plus side.... plus 6 to be exact when we left at 6pm.... the winds were strong and steady for most of the day and we got some drizzle....but only a little bit... compared to the minus 18 I fished earlier this week it was balmy...but the cold wet feeling still gave us some chills with the strong winds.... we fished approx. 50 feet of water ......where ratherbe, rob2126 and lonewolf602 were set up... and it wasnt long after glenn and I got there....the action started for us... here is my first of the day..... http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...h/Img_3009.jpg everyone was catching....for the most part the fish came in waves all day....with only a few lull periods.... and quite a few of the lakers were light biters....lots of hits and misses as well.... it was glenns first trip of the season and he was first to limit out... http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...h/Img_3013.jpg http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...h/Img_3012.jpg a few action shots of robb...and ratherbe moving the transponder... http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...h/Img_3010.jpg the result http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...h/Img_3015.jpg http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...h/Img_3011.jpg and another http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...h/Img_3014.jpg a group shot during the lull period.... http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...h/Img_3016.jpg all in all a busy and bountyful.... day....with plenty of fish and good conversation.... thanks for coming out ratherbe,robb2126 , lonewolf602 ...and Glenn...you guys made it a day to remember ps a shot of glenn receiving his plaque for last winters derby team from ratherbe the previous years winner http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...h/Img_3018.jpg keep on drillin Auger
