We were too lazy to move since it was so windy so we just hung out there. We saw 5 eyes on the camera and then my buddy's friend caught a burbot just before I left. That one also chomped on the camera and then took his jig with a minnow, he got off at the ice and then he put some more bait on and put it down and bang, got him again and this time out of the water.
That was the first time I have ever been skunked there. I was there at the worst time of day for fishing but it was still fun. By the time I left there were four or five other groups there braving the conditions.

The wind was absolutely nuts on Saturday. I was in a tent when the wind got underneath the sled and lifted me up...pivoted me on my feet before setting back down.
I will not fish again in wind like that.
