I'm thinking this will be my last weekend unless I get a wild hair and head into the U.P.

nice pile man :thumbsup: be careful out there come the weekend!

the last week or two has had them really feeding good. 20-40 gill sacks the last 9 trips. accept one where we couldnt even get a doz. keepers(7"+).  seemed like the runts moved in and the keepers moved out. then they magically came back the next day in the afternoon. would like to know why and where the big ones went to for that day. lol  time to focus on perch now and pray for ice out. ;D

Nice mess, the end is near.

I've been having the same issues with the little ones.  Been fishing a SHALLOW weed bed.  End up throwing back 20-60 every time.  Never know if it's going to be a 4" Gill or a 10" red.  Usually get broke off by something really big every time out also.

I really wanted to get out today but didn't want to try alone. Was really hoping to get on some trout or pike before season ended but think ill take my sled out of my honda and replace it with waders and the fly rod. Would be cool to get out again but I'll be happy to get some cold stream trout.
Tight lines brothers and be safe if you get out.

Chad I made it back out to the Sea this morning bite was slow again but I got a 12.5" and 2 9"ers. Along with 3 8"ers. Ice was still decent but rain won't be any good on it. Hex

2 tenths of an inch of rain likely wont even get rid of half the snow they have on the ice down there.  It should be fine this weekend if the edges hold but next week will hurt it bad.

A back injury cut my season short so my stuff is packed up and put away for this year. Heading to Florida Monday to hog hunt and when I get back hopefully the ice is off and time for the boat.

Cleaned out the suv this morning and hung up the ice gear. Gonna load my car with my wader gear and fly fishing stuff. Maybe my efforts will bring some of you guys some additional ice....ha.
