1/21/12 - Ice Fishin' At The Honey Hole
Finally got out on the ice for the first time in 2012. Joined Vinny who put in a couple hours yesterday. When he packed up yesterday he decided to leave 2 traps set overnight. So we got there about 8am, snow was starting to stick. Right away we noticed both traps are tripped, sweet! Vin pulls the 1st one, and what do you know, Fish On! nice 20in Pickerel. So I pulled the 2nd trap, and no s***, Fish On! A 2ft Eel...Yuck! But its a fish, and my 1st Eel ever. After that we set-up the traps, bites started fast, but slowed by the time we packed it in at 12:30pm. Snow just wasnt fun today. Vin's other fish were 2 Largemouth(1lber, and a 2lber) on traps, Perch, and Pickerel jigging, and unfortunately missed about 4lb Largemouth at the hole that the hook popped out. My others were a chunky Perch, and 1-1/4lb Largemouth
