I got a few of those spinney silver fish, 2 that are speckled with a soft mouth and 3 to many of the dreaded curse fish..along with a bunch of crushed and stolen baits.. real fussy eaters today..

Damn Joe... Ice skeeters, that's a new one. Glad 3 of my buddies made the rounds to play with your bait. Any size to the speckled ones?
Sorry to hear about the face plant, that's no fun...

16".. got both within 10 minutes of each other,  moved all over, could not find them again.. jigged more today than i have all year, all I got was carpel tunnel..every thing came on shiners 4' above the bottom in 45 to50' of water..nothing but smallies in the shallow water.

The face plant is actually pretty funny.

Thanks guys. The specs were an incidental catch, but I'd rather be lucky than good.

Congrats on the 16".. I caught one 1 1/2 lb LB today no skunk. Sorry about the face plant it could have been worse. Was that before or after the mosquito bite?

The little blood sucker got me while I was drying out after my flopping around with my foot tethered  to my wheeler...

Sounds like an interesting day Joe. 70° in March, Mosquitoess on the ice.....clearly mother nature is confused.
That Full moon hasn't helped the bite the past few days either.
Hope you're able to get after em the rest of the week!

Crazy weather for sure! Be careful out there, and enjoy your week! You can take "faceplant" off the to-do list, anyway. :)
