A good day...Finally!!
« on: Jan 31, 2009, 01:21 PM »
Took my son out this morning to a local pond.  Set up 4 tips and my Arctic Warrior.  Brought along 2 dozen shiners and was out of bait within three hours.  Had 18 flags and managed to get 8 slime darts including four on the Warrior (my first fish on it  ;D).  Seemed like we were getting a flag every five to ten minutes!!  First time in a long time that I ran out of bait.   Would have liked to get a couple of bass, but the way its been slow lately I'll take the pickerel.  It was nice to finally get some steady action and my son had a blast so that's really all that matters.


A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work!!

Glad to see you having a good day. Always a good day when you need more bait.
If fishing was work I'd never be sick!

Nice to hear that you did good. Always a good thing when you run out of bait like that.

thats great to hear makes me proud to be an ice fisherman hearing stories like that
some men die for there country
some men die to be free
but a tip up flag with a large mouth bass will be the death of me

These type of days keep the kids interested.
Good for you and your son.
 Cherish today and hopefully many more.
 There is nothing like fishing with your kids.

nice to run out of bait - then you can pick up the short wand and slay them that way - much better! ;D
