Sunday morning, BBP parking lot, bunch of buddies waiting to get on the ice…
What do you usually expect from a fishing trip? Catching fish, having fun, getting some challenge… Right combination of those factors is a recipe for the perfect fishing day.
Day was starting slow: fish was where, but not really interested in lures presentation. Early AM produced several lakers: two in +10lb range. All caught in +100’. The action slowed down even more by noontime: moving around didn’t help much – a few lost fish, and couple little lakers weren’t a big consolation… So, it was time to have lunch! I have to say it again: I love portable BBQ!!! Hot dogs on the lake – what’s could be better?!? Thanks, Matt! Most of us left ice by 3PM. I got to the shore with a modest personal result 7:3 (lakers), but in a great mood! Nice to be out fishing!
After a long time being against the idea, I have to admit now: portable ice hut is the way to go. I am a happy owner of a new Frabill Commando single person shanty – this Sunday was first time out with it. It’s light (I don’t use stock seat and mounting frame), sets up in seconds, has a zipped door and most important – it fits in my Toyota Echo!!!
