The bigwiggle Ice fishes for the first time today..
« on: Dec 19, 2014, 07:03 PM »
Hey Guys
I finally got to hit the ice, :thumbsup: but my catch rates were not the best  ::) ??? but anyways i had allot of fun hanging out with an old friend. I fished lake ninevah in MT Holly but only caught dink perch and a small pickerel. Then i headed to The Northern end of Bomo and did not have much success  there but my friend caught a 5 pound pike on a tip up  :icefish: in 4 feet of water.

The best part of the day I got to play with my new toys for the first time like my new Vexilar FLX-28 :thumbsup: and what an awesome unit this is. Just love the features on this unit. I got to try out some new poles and new baits, and my new Ice armor Boots from Clam are so Warm .

I plan on fishing again on Sunday at small local pond.

Fish on

How were the ice conditions? Thinking of maybe hitting up the north side of Bomo soon.

The ice conditions on Bomo was sketchy :o , so be careful if you go.. 3 inches mostly , but 4 inches of slush ice on top..

I really want to go fishing but I don't want to go swimming. Might have to wait till they firm up a bit.

Got to fish Chittenden Dam yesterday. Two layers of decent ice totaling about 8 inches. The bite was slow for the dam butdidn't go down back where I like to go.Caught 30 perch but small. They make great eating but a pain to clean. Will be trying Fern Lake today be fore the rains mess it all up.
