6 species day..ran me ragged
« on: Mar 22, 2015, 09:34 AM »
first, thanks for the kind words regarding my mothers passing.

need some ice time therapy, so i went to a local pond. started snowing as i left the house. i became a PIA when my suit started sucking up the melted snow on it, but it stopped an it turned into a nice day. but the turn seemed to shut off the bite.

from 745 to 1000 it was constant flags. one or two up at a time. but nothing big, a lot of the perch, bass, crappie could barely mouth my heavy shiners. about 6 crappie out of 1 hole. by 11 am i was fishing with my last 4 dead bait so i broke out the jig stick. i punched out some old holes around me. jig stick was on fire. each hole produced 5-10 minutes of bite after bite. perch, crappie, bluegills, seeds. but no bass, don't know where the big girls were but they weren't biting.
the dead bait produced the biggest fish.  a 1.2 fat crappie and a 2.14 21" pickerel.

here a pics of each species (no pics of the perch, no t worth wasting the pixels ha ha)

pumpkin seed



bluegill



bass maybe close to 2 lbs


a nice 1.2 crappie


nice fatty 2.14 pickerel loaded with eggs



ran me ragged but it felt good

Lenz,sorry to hear of your moms passing,always a tough time . Nice rebound on the ice. Jimmy C Jigger and I hit a local hole saturday nite didn't do as well as you but did manage a few for the frying pan.

Last weekend I had about the same luck with jigging. 5 different species.  Nothing big but a lot of fun.
In it for the fight.  Catch and Release

I have the uncanny ability to get down as many beers as I do fish through the hole on days like that :D
