Default Weekend bite

Just in case any of you fellow addicts are debating hitting the ice this weekend, I fished 10 hours Wednesday caught 1 wee hammer and saw 1 other all day. Had more action than that this morning before I even had time to turn on the camera. Just as I was writing this I caught a 10 pounder, released it and before my new bait was halfway down i got another or it even looked the same 10 pounder. They aren't just nibbling on the ends these fish are gobbling the whole thing down.

I'm getting some crazy pics and video today. I wouldnt wiggle my fingers under the ice today that's for sure even my bait caster that doesn't have a clicker spun so fast I could hear it from outside the tent!

For sure, it's a long drive to Frank Lake but worth it on days like this

how's the wind down at "Frank" today, Wayne? Last Saturday/Sunday was UNREAL....We couldn't get a tent up in that so we barely fished. Hoping this Sunday is going to be a bit better. At least it'll be warmer!

Ice is 24 inches so if you have a short shaft you may want to slip on your extension just remember it will wobble more than normal

I had an awesome day, 21 pike landed and lots lost. most between 10 and 13 pounds today. One video from today, I had released a pike about 11 pounds, it was recovering on the bottom under me and my new bait landed by its tail. there were a few more fish around and I finally managed to get one to take my bait and hit the first pike too. Lots more videos to check out just from today when I get time.
