went out to Catawba lots of cars in parking lot stopped talked to a couple fishermen no fish today lots of shanties said ice was 8 inches where they were fishing a mile or so off shore. went to crane creek no one there left went to metzgers seen some open water no one fishing seems like its been awful cold not to have good ice. maybe next week the only place to try would be off Catawba, good news is i think its coming still have lots of ice jigs but 2 bait shops called wanting them so if i sell to them they have to make there money and you will pay a lot more first come first serve but any body from this site gets best deal. also sold 3750 bare jigs today
