Was able to get out on the lake this afternoon for about 2.5hrs and we did not bad..We got out on the ice about 16:00hrs and rolled up just before dark at around 18:30hrs.. Between two of us we were able to put 4 decent 2- 4 pound Pike on the ice and 3 nice Walleye in the 1.5 - 2 pound range.. So it was fun for sure..
This nice weather we are enjoying is not supposed to last so I figured a guy better make the best of it.. It was a nice change from work for the afternoon to say the least...
We hit all but one fish (a Walleye), on jig tipped w/minnow and the one on a jig with mister twister leach imitation,, the fish were taken in water ranging from 8' - 12'...
All fish looked healthy and looked quite well fed,, I think the Walleye are going to turn on I was able to re-hook two of the Walleye after they stole a shiner off the hook once, they came back for more.. I kept one Pike for supper ( please don't tell my kids )
and when I cleaned him his belly had at least a 1/2 dozen Perch minnows in it,, most were still quite fresh so this guy was on a hunting trip for sure...
So that's the report from Crawling for today,, was a good day on the water...
