Howd ya guys do this weekend?
« on: Jan 11, 2009, 06:48 PM »
I've been at the East side of the state since friday night fishing with the S.E guys. Just curious how everything held up around home this wknd? Gotta call from a buddy here that said he drilled about 70 holes and couldnt find fish on a normally VERY productive lake (hope ya got into em today!)  Howd everyone else fair out?

hmmm wonder if the father-in-law did good today?????????

The fact that I did not get a brag call means no good......I was thinking the other chief noonday.  Or the Chief noonday we first met on.  Or maybe the chief noonday next to the noonday I drilled 70 holes on.  All will produce slab gills.  Sorry about the laggy posting...I am ebaying the !@#$ outa some stuff.

Sounds like it flag! Thats a darn good day!

I say the cheif noonday we first met on is a good bet RC.. Last weekend they were hammering the pike out there, and there is always a good establishment of gills in there. Me n Pa might make the ride down there this week sometime and go thin em out a little.

Went for a trip to Higgins today with my dad and made out with about 40 or 50 perch (small ones) and fished for smelt for about 3 hours and started to pull them in left and right for about an hour and then they just shut off so we ended up with 45 which isn't great but hey it could be worse. All and all we had a great time and that's truly what matters  ;D .

Had a decent weekend, moved my shanty a bit and found some nice gills to go along with the crappies.
Tally for saturday night, sunday morning, and sunday afternoon:

18 gills, with 3 over 10 inches, 19 specks, biggest was 12.5 inches.  My 12 year old daughter laid claim to the 3 big gills, by hole watching.  She would pull her bait away from the little guys, and yank when big boys grabbed it.  She was having a blast.
Sit in the house- or sit in the shanty, let's see, beer and crappies- I'm going fishing.

Lk. St. Clair was a bust on Sunday. Tried 3 diff spots with Minnows & Jigs and notthing biting, at least not for me. There were a lot of shanties on the lake both in the Horseshoe and in front of Bobby Macs. Apparently there were a lot of Pike getting speared...at least that is what the CO informed me when he came up to check our licenses. Guess maybe that could be the reason for the slow action. On the plus side the water was crystal clear except for the Bouvia Marina' north channel. That was mudier than ^%^%$! Didn't see one fish  on the ice when I went toolin around either. With all the shacks out there it would be nice to hear if anyone had any luck. There's always next weekend...........
