Hit a NE IN lake this weekend that I usually don't fish and man was the action good. Had 3-4" of hard black ice but didn't wanna get my feet wet yesterday, too much standing water. Lotta big ones on camera and most of them were willing to bite. When the night bite rolled around, it was nonstop action getting hit every time I dropped down and that jig was in the back of their mouth!! Kept 14 on the weekend, pic below was just from the night bite on Friday.Not sure if anyone else is seeing a similar pattern but none of these fish came on live bait.... using plastics and jigs for all the fish seen here. Looking forward to next weekend.
Yall have had a much better start than me. I've been finding fish, but they've just been dead negative, can't get them to take anything. Got the skunk Thursday and Friday, a couple gills and a little bass Saturday, and a couple itty bitty bass yesterday.
Man what a difference twenty four hours makes! I fished the same lake and about the same holes this evening and could only get eight gills and a crappie. I will say the gills were all pretty big, one redear was 10” and I had a nine inch gill, the rest were eight inch and up. They would follow and look but most wouldn’t commit and if they did the bite was pretty lite, nubbed and pulled out of a few also. Was still great to get out, hope the rain doesn’t hurt the ice. Here’s the pic of my best ones. Be careful if you get out! Hex
You caught 'em all!
I’m trying they just don’t always cooperate! Give me a call if you want to get out. Hex
