The sun is shinning even if the temps this weekend went sub zero (groan!).  We were making more ice this weekend than was melted.  Lets hope that is the end of the sub zero temps

Ice was plenty safe for folks walking around the lake.

Fishing report from the Cikowski guys Tommy, Fritz and Jimmy was the perch and crappie were biting like mad.  Fritz had a crappie on that was too big to get through the hole and he had to cut the line.  Jimmy’s batteries were out on his camera and Troy and I were out of town this weekend so we have no photographic evidence except for the smell of a very good fish fry that was had in Restawhile this weekend.  Glad you had a good time guys, now lets get the lake melted for some muskie fishing in May
