So I haven't been on the ice since the last weekend in January when I went to Canada, both weather, work and family has kept me from being able to go. I decided to try something I have wanted to do for a few years now. I went to chase some Lakers. What an awesome day! It was -12 and wind in the face on the walk out...it was COLD on the eyes and face. Set up in a spot I had pre-marked on my Navionics map prior to going. When I got near the spot there was a Lake Trout frozen in the middle of the 12"s of Black Ice...it was a sign. I set up right there and fish hit on the first drop. I wasn't even ready, I have never used my Vexilar FL20 in 165 FOW before. It worked awesome by the way. I caught fish from 30' down to bottom in 165'. Some of them were line stripping runners. What a blast! The fish were aggressive and steady throughout the morning. It let up around 1130-1200 and then a small flurry before I called it a day at 2:00. I ended up landing 11 fish, the largest was my first fish which was just a sliver under 29"...a slob, it was -12 so my attempt to get a picture was a bust...Stinks. I caught a bunch more ranging 22-25" range and a couple under 20". I kept two 17" fish to try on the smoker. I lost two at the hole and one more somewhere on the way up. Definitely in my top 5 for ice trips ever. A few pics...

Nice catch of lakers bro! I've caught my share of them but never through the ice, makes me wanna do a Lake George trip.

Scott, thought you said a few pics

!!! Awesome day rite there

!!! Glad you were able to get back out there and get on them. My guess is you will be back after them even though they finally mad it to the top of the list. Enjoy the remainder of the downhill portion of the season,
John

So I have made few Crappie trips this year, I haven't taken many pictures...last night the conditions were beautiful, took a buddy of mine and his two sons...we had about a two hour window of good action. Both kids caught fish. We finished with 17 keepers, lost a few and put some shorts back...

Awesome pics Hunt. Always good to get kids involved.

CatskillsFisher · « **Reply #20 on:** Mar 08, 2015, 06:02 PM »

Some sweet crappies you caught !! I like the lights on the flip over.. Thanks for the idea, what battery do you use for them?

huntny30 · « **Reply #21 on:** Mar 09, 2015, 04:00 AM »

Those are just the reflectors built into the flip over...they reflect from the flash of my camera...

reeleyz · « **Reply #22 on:** Mar 09, 2015, 05:29 AM »

huntny30 · « **Reply #26 on:** Mar 09, 2015, 05:40 PM »

Thanks everyone...it was a great evening! I cleaned all the fish and had to label the vacuum seal bag with the kids name on it for a future fish fry...they didn't want to part with the fish...LOL
