Cut some holes....caught some fish
« on: Dec 07, 2005, 07:12 PM »
Fished Summit today and had a bay all to myself. The ice was 2" thick up to a ridge and just on the other side it was 1". A little hairy but I managed 24. Mostly 8 to 9 inch bluegills and a couple of perch. Would have been 25 but I walked about 50 yards away and a Blue Herron snacked on one of my perch! I fed the sneaky stork a few tiny ones before chasing him away.

Never tell a fish where its supposed to be

Where you jigin a rap for some eyes?? I went to Morse last night for about 1 hour, and caught two keeper crappie right at dark, I was to scared to put the shanty up on 2 inches, and it got cold when that sun went down... I will be back out tonight though as long as that snow isn't piling up to high.  Shouldn't take to long to get a limit. Hopefully  ???
I wish I was good at ice fishing!

Those Herons can be pretty damn bold. There was one that used to hang out on North Snow Bay I saw him consume the contents of a guys minnow bucket one day! LOL
There is nothing in the world I'd rather do than ice fish!
