Where's everyone headed this Weekend?
« on: Feb 02, 2017, 04:39 PM »
Looks like it's going to be windy in the Champlain Valley this weekend, but Crayfish2 and I are still planning on heading into the islands for some perch/panfish action. Where is everyone else going? Tight Lines to All, PB.   :tipup: ;D

Might try getting out next week, whether by boat or ice will depend on the weather. My go-to places are still mostly clear of ice.
May the fish be with you.

Heading to the Islands for more panfish most likely. The other areas I wanted to go arent safe enough to risk it. Did nearly two buckets of gills and sunnies last Saturday and a bucket each day every time before that.

I don't know.  I thought I was over it, but I've got the crappie bug again.

Anywhere but dunmore!! I was out ther yesterday on about 6" of ice and had a Subaru drive past me. Then when I was leaving a 2500 pickup pulled out on the ice to drop a shanty off. About 25 ft away from a section of open water the size of a public swimming  pool. The closer the derby gets the dumber people get
Good luck :tipup:

PB, where will you and your dad be going?
PM me, I'm solo tomorrow and was thinking of laker jigging, but could just hang near Champlain instead.
Not really relishing the drive and fishing a lake I've been to by myself, so leaning towards perch jigging as usual.
Would be nice to connect with you guys again.
