Decent start to the year (pic heavy)
« on: Jan 20, 2014, 02:31 PM »
Been a decent start to the year, here are a few pics









was a slow day for me, but still managed a couple.







Yesterday was our best day yet, icing over 25 togue thanks in part to some info i recieved from MGK last year. didnt get into any big ones yet, but we will.


traps were in the water before 6, first fish on the ice by 6:30



one of my most memorable catches  ;D



kalebs togue on 2lb test



my togue on 2lb test




last fish of the day, 2' under the ice. caught alot of togue under the ice  ???

also been trying our luck with jigging smelts, we're getting better

8 dozen our last trip out.


Plenty of other fish caught this season so far. 90% or more of the fish have been released unharmed.

Thats a great start to the year
Fishing is like playing at Carnegie Hall, when your good your good. But do you know how to get to Carnegie Hall? PRACTICE!
