Anyone braving the rain this weekend????????????????
« on: Mar 13, 2015, 11:43 AM »
I have 2-3 dozen bait left. My spot on the river is being washed away as I type. Another spot on the river fails to produce this time of year as well as the running water eating it away.... I was thinkling about Collins puddle just to get rid of my bait but this rain has me thinking to stay home..... Anyone know the conditions of Collins? Shore ice ok? I hate to stay home and waste this bait. It's do or die and tomorrow is it for me.  So anyone going out tomorrow??? Sunday????? Where you headed???

Do you have a filter on your bait tank?

Keeping them alive isn't my worry. No problem doing that. Been doing that for years. Pike/Walleye season is up this weekend. That's what I fish for. Not to mention the fading ice...........

It should be a good bite with the low pressure coming in.  Put on your Ice Armor ice fishing suit and get inside your hut, should be good to go.

Keep on hauling

I can't see why it wouldn't.   On top of all the ridic. cold we had in January and February, what we have had in the last 4 days isn't much more than a glorified mid-winter thaw.   Most winters we get an inch or two of rain mid-season.   At best we'll see half-inch tommorrow.

Hit the same spot  as the eyes and go for Perch. Use them as bait if you get into them. Small ones for bait bigger ones for a meal.....
