WOW!! Great day!!
« on: Feb 23, 2008, 04:57 PM »
Talk about the most perfect weather you could ask for in a good day of fishin!! Fishin for me was slow today, started out with cagetrapper and spartaman and my pard Todd  on logan, fishin was alright but nothin hot and heavy.  Then me and Todd packed up and headed south toward Gun lake area, had a GREAT time out there! Ended up with 45 due to a miscount and some REAL nice gills!  Hot jig of the day for me was a chartruese marmooska medium size, and as always the orange tungsten jigs were doing well!! But i had a great day! Great spending some time with some new ppl and long time fishin buds on the ice! Weather was perfect fishin was good!

I wish I could share yuor success today, but I ended up skunked with just one feeble bite. The weather was great, but the fishing was just fishing and not catching.
I am blessed to live in an area where the fishing is great and the people are nice!

Talk about a great day.. i have a cold and still went out and had fun. Did the best we've ever done on the lake we fished, caught 2 jumbo perch 1 after another :) Caught around 25 nice perch out there and had something messing around with the tip-up  ;D

Had a great day again.  Had 7 guys in our group.  We all walked off with our limit of crappie.  Nothing huge...but good eater size.  Two pike made it on the ice.  31 in. and  a 25 in.  I had more fun with friends than anything.  The fish just happened to cooperate which made it even more enjoyable.
Bullet with a name on it.

where where you fishing, just off the launch? I did ok last time I was out for some medium sized Gills. I did catch a Nice 36" Pike out in the middle of the lake in the deep part, its just a hike to get there.

if ur talkin camp i went straight of the launch, couldnt mark nething so we went all the way to the other side where ppl fish, same story... it sucked! and by the way if ur lookin to go out in the middle, theres other ways to access the lake so its not a far walk at all
