2/3/13 - An Ice Fishing Day You Dream About At The Honey Hole.
Finally some ice! Hit the 4" of Ice today with Vin, Pat (the B-day boy), and Nin. Vin started at 8am while I ran to get some more bait. He calls me at 8:30 saying flags are ripping already, get extra bait! I get there at 9am, and Vin already has 9 Bass(Included a 4-1/2lber, and a Pickerel. Finish setting up more traps, and re-baiting others and an onslaught of flags till about 3:30am was on. I must of ran around 5 miles on the ice! Double, triple flags all day! Vin finished with 40 Bass, with his lunker being that 4-1/2lber. Also 5 Pickerel, Including a 4lber, and a few chunky Perch. Nin had about 10 Bass, and a couple Pickerel. Pat also had about 10 Bass, and lunker of the day with 5lb 11oz tank, and a couple Pickerel. My day had 30 Bass, with 3lber as my lunker, and a 3lb Pickerel. Most Bass were in the 2lb range. Crazy stuff, we went through 5 dozen shiners today, and at times we could not keep up with the flags, and rebaiting, etc, lol. Now Im ready for spring!
John- The 1 Star was obviously meant to be 5 Stars...I friggin hate when that happens.... Anyways, awesome job, that's a special day on the ice!
Heck of a day for sure!!
