Not a bad start to the year
« on: Jan 01, 2014, 04:38 PM »
Not a bad start.  The fishing was kinda slow but we got a decent variety.  My brother and I landed 6 or 8 LM, 2 SM, 8 or 10 yellow perch, 1 brown, 1 brookie and1 crappie.  Plenty of ice, but it was definitely a little chilly!  -9 when we left the house.

Now that looks cold...great pics.
May God bless and keep you always, may your wishes all come true.
May you always do for others and let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung,
May your hands always be busy, may your feet always be swift.
May you have a strong foundation when the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful, may your songs always be sung.
May you stay forever young.

Fishing is like playing at Carnegie Hall, when your good your good. But do you know how to get to Carnegie Hall? PRACTICE!

Figures, of all those fish, the two trout were hooked too bad to release.  (Not a big trout fan). There was an older guy fishing near us who hadn't had much luck, so I gave him the brown.  He was pretty surprised and thankful.  Now the brookie is cooking for my supper.

Good to see you out there Josh. I fished there last week & didn't find any crappie, but got several bass & a few yellows. ;D
