Another great day
« on: Dec 05, 2018, 07:50 PM »
Well today i got a bright an early start leaving the house at about 4:30. Decided to fish the same lake in the north country of nh knowing previous ice conditions and that it holds some pretty solid fish. Got to the lake at about 6:30 and had traps in by 7. Ice was solid all the way through no slush easy walking 5.5-6in pretty consistent some spots pushing 6.5in. That soaking sunday and the cold snap to follow couldnt have played out any better. Once again we were the only ones there, perfect!!. It was a nippy 10 degrees upon arrival but warmed up to about low 20s mid afternoon. Winds were calm and sun was out. Brought the pop up but didnt end up spending really anytime in it. Flags started flying left and right soon after with multiple pickerel in the 12-16 inch range and a few eater sized perch in between, will be bringing my filet knife next time. Hit a lull around 10 so we cooked up some food. Didnt bring any breakfast stuff so went straight to stuffed bacon cheddar burgers haha. Finished eating and we decided to jig again for bows while it was slow. Picked up a little bow on a tungsten jig with a maki plastic. My uncle got one on a tungsten jig tipped with a few waxies.  Action on the shiners picked back up again around noon. A few more perch and pickerel smaller than the first bunch earlier and had 1 bow mixed in. For lunch we cooked up some chicken covered in Tabasco sauce and made sandwiches pasta, nothing gourmet but good. Had quite a few hit and spits with no real action for a while. Between 2-3 we managed 2 more bows and decided  to call it quits after. It starts getting dark around 4 and i wanted to go check out one of my go to spots about 20 miles south to possibly fish saturday. Another successful day in my book. Many more to come.

Nice report. Sounds like a damn good day
Someone told me ice fishing was too good to be true. I said, what's the catch?

Nice report. Where abouts in NH was this? Not looking for exact spots, just general location or lake name. Thanks

Nice report and that's a good lake I have fished it a few times.  I was going to head up that way Saturday but it looks like some good water in NY locked up.
  It hasnt let me down thus far, i know it can produce some solid fish just have to find em. Wherever you end up this weekend good luck.

There are some large browns in there!
Im not sure your thinking of the same location. According to the nh wildlife website theres only bows. I do have a spot about a half hour south that has some good ones.
