well i made it out on my birthday for opener of pike spearing, i seen 3 fish only got 1. the other 2 were bigger in the 10lb range but wouldn't come in the hole at all. they are real freaked out on how bright it is without any snow on the ice. even a bird flying over scared them off. here are a few pics of my ay out.
the first pic is of the fish i got only 3lbs but good eating.

the second pic is of the houses from shore, i need to get back behind the point you see in the pic to get the bigger ones, but it's been to windy.

the 3rd pic is of my decoy in 8 feet of water, if you look the water is real clear and can see the bottom.

hope you all enjoy.
