On the day after Thanksgiving it hit a record high of 60 degrees, and as long as the sun was out it was pleasant. When the showers blew in and the the wind picked ...more up it separated the men from the hard core. I am one of the later, that thought the fish would bite when the low pressure moved in. Luckily the wind let up a little so Cooks bay was not just one big white cap. I saw a couple of eagles on Boy Scout Island, and a raccoon that couldn't find a garbage can to get a meal out of. Phelps bay had a sheet of thin ice over it but you could go under the red bridge and about 100 feet into the bay before you hit ice, and there was a stream of 5-10 inch ice cubes 50 feet wide and a few hundred feet long flowing out of Cooks bay past Hard Scrabble point that freaked me out when my boat passed threw it. I never caught anything, but I plan to go back out on Monday Nov. 27th if it gets warm and the wind isn't blowing to hard. My humming bird showed the fish 15-30 feet deep in 30-40 feet of water since the lake turned over and the surface water at about 35 degrees.
