Title: Seriously sick
Post by: lunkahville on Mar 31, 2017, 05:11 PM: (http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b485/Lunkahville/Facebook/Ice%20Fishing/20170331_144114_zpspt2ktkfh.jpg) (http://s1288.photobucket.com/user/Lunkahville/media/Facebook/Ice%20Fishing/20170331_144114_zpspt2ktkfh.jpg.html)

I must be if that's all I left the house with this morning. It felt like I was missing something as I loaded up the sled. Went to a small mud puddle just up from the house that supposedly had crappie and white perch. I'm not convinced they are in there. Caught 10-15 4-6" y.p and mainah caught the only crappie of the day at a whopping 3". Smallest crappie I've ever seen. Punched holes all over one end of the puddle and marked fish but couldn't find anything of size. Be crossing that one off the list.

I'll probably ditch the traps or maybe keep 1-2 just to bait as teasers. Coldwater species I'll still be bringing them just cause. I might wanna just sit back and relax

We got to hook up next year and put some on ice together
