Great Day at the Cove
« on: Feb 11, 2012, 09:00 PM »
Had a fantastic day today. Another fine weather day no gloves almost all day. The flags were flying right from the start and remained fairly steady through out the day. On the ice at 7:15am off the ice at 5:15pm. Met StriperNut and Baitbucket out there. Nice to meet fellow Shanty memebers. Saw a couple eagles. Even tried jigging with these little orange shiners I got at Flags on the way out. They worked the perch loved the and Frank even jigged up a couple Pickerel and a Bass with them. I never saw them before but had to try them. First time fishing the Cove. No Pike but alot of nice Bass and Pickerel. Next Saturday sounds good to go there again for sure. Here's how the day started

and they just kept coming



The last fish of the day at about 5:00pm

The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad.

i used to fish the cove alot,,,but a few years back,,some,russians stole some of my tips ups, also tried to attack my 70 year old fishing partner,,and they were ragbagging everything, dont think any one of them had a a licence, nor could they even read english. After that i stopped going there, but would love to go back and jigg off the wall for those slab calicos, and put out some pike tip us.

If russians did that to one of my fishing partners they would probably meet the business end of a spud bar quickly.
