First Person on the Ice To Catch a Fish. (WITH PICS)
« on: Dec 05, 2009, 04:39 PM »
Unless someone beat me to it, I was the first person on this forum to catch a fish, it happened at 12:20 P.M. today. A small Bluegill, but I didn't care, I finally got my Ice Fix, I caught 2 small gills and a 12" LMB. Ice was 3-4 inches. I will post pics later tonight hopefully.

Congratulations :tipup:  Though you wouldnt have beaten to it except I had some house cleaning to do this morning.  Caught my first fish about 3 oclock this afternoon.  took my 4 year old out this afternoon.  He had a good time.  Only caught one nice gill, due probly to the fact he likes to clunk around in the sled alot.  Fished the refuge.  West Long had 3" and Watts a little more than that.  No action at all on West Long.  Buddy 25' away was catching a decent batch of cleanr gills, nothing special just decent cleaners.  He probly had 12-15 when we left.

Fishing should be the exercise of your skills- and its rewards the places it brings you to

Way awesome way to earn the $$$ for a new shanty.  Came by two roosters tonight myself on the way out fishing.  Went to the refuge again.  Not much time but I caught a few little bass and one bluegill.
