Paul, I wanna know who the old guy is in smelly coveralls...??
One of those unique characters you meet on the ice, maybe by chance, maybe by fate? Not sure what that person is capable of while your standing on that foggy, icy night, with the stranger you just met!Paul
Gotcha.....Kinda like the guy in the movie Deliverance.....except colder?
Rule #15 if you want to post pictures of your catch on IceShanty leave out the "where" and insert the "how"!
one question about fish migrations in lakes, i have fished a 300 plus acre lake for the past 11 years, this lake has a main body that splits into two fingers. I have found that almost every pan fish in the lake migrates to one finger, i'v fished most coves, both fingers, points and the main lake looking for spots that are not as pressured as this one finger.the main lake will give up countless white bass, channel cats and an occasional crappie while every where else is dead except the one finger which will give up more gills n craps than you could imagine...any thought on why the fish seem to all migrate to the one finger? both fingers are almost carbon copies of each other, both being fed by small creeks and virtualy the same structure and depth.
Great post that seem to spawned many more (kudos to the Ice shanty Militia). I have been on and off this site over the years and most people don't have a problem posting what they caught but have a problem explanning how they caught them. Having the thought process to even come up with the idea to help people ice more fish on any lake is very commendable. Coming on to this site and learning "how" may be much more use full than "where". I can't drive to all the lakes posted on this forum but if I can learn how to catch more fish on the ones that are near my residence it would be great. Question to HT and his wrecking crew: when you go to a new lake how do you pick your first jig (color,size, shape and presentation). Rule #14 bring a sippy cup;as you never know when some one on the ice may need it!Rule #15 if you want to post pictures of your catch on IceShanty leave out the "where" and insert the "how"!
