Another half day...

Caught a few fish. Billy stole the show though... flags all day and fish in the double digits. (On top of showing up a little late and getting his holes drilled for him  .)  No pic's of Big Ed's fish as he always seems to drill his holes out in Manitoba, lol.


Meeeeeeeeeow.




There was a couple of these coarkers.

Hey Shortseason here,
Nice mix of fish, Good job!! I fished stumps, very slow in the am with a very good jig bite later in the noon. I was blaming the High pressure for the slow bite(day after the storm theory ya know). I had my big baits out for the pike and a good mix of shiners for the other stuff. Did anyone else experience similar results???

Thanks Jimmy, I appreciate the info.

I was using what that page calls a slip lead rig. I call it a bolt rig.

If I choose to set a couple of traps with a rig like again that I think I am going to fix the lead in place though. I just hate doing that because if you break off the fish then the poor thing winds up dragging around your lead indefinently. (And likely dieing) I don't think it would be as much of a problem through the ice vs open water, but the snags are still there.
