Welcome a new smelt fisherman
« on: Mar 17, 2009, 03:18 PM »
We had a couple hours today to kill so I took my youngest out for some ice fishing before it's all over. He had fun catching his first batch of smelt. I think he'll be asking to come out with me more often now.

Is that Higgins? Is it common to catch smelt out there during the day?

Looks like he had fun!
I caught a fish once!

Late ice the smelt bite during the day... somedays better than at night.
Today was a fantastic bite, they hooked themselves and he had a blast, yes it was Higgins and there is still plenty of ice yet to be fished.
How did you do last weekend CP?

I hope this year I got both my boys hooked.... need more help to haul out all my gear ::)
But seriously, I hope they get as much out of it as I do. Can't imagine my life without the "outdoors"

Looks like he outfished 80% of the guys at "the gathering 09". ;D

I'll probably have both my boys out there for next years outing here on Higgins. At least for part of the day.
