You can have good days and bad ones there. Never know. I went today and jigged perch and picks all day, no pike. Who knows.
I did manage to catch a dog. Well, he caught me! He was running on the ice, mile after mile. No collar, no tags. Didn't warm up to anyone out there but me. Why is it always me? Gave him some lunch, he jumped into the front seat of the truck to melt the ice balls from his feet. Then we drove around for 2 hours looking for his home. An older lady on the road told me his name and where he lives. Also told me they dont look after him all that well. She said the dog would be better off going home with me! Poor dog was asleep on the front seat and didn't want to get out of the truck. I had to pull him out and send him up the driveway. I've had second thoughts ever since.
I dont steal dogs but if he cant stand his owners and wants to follow a fisherman home, I wont stop him next time.
