~~~Phishen on Christmas Day

[oldphart]

~~~Slug and I had a chance to hit a certain lake that has a open season on Crappie, arrived there and spoke with a marina owner, who told us there was 9" of ice. Headed out to an area I've phished before and Slug got the Mexicam auger going and we found we had 3" of frozen slush, and 6" of black ice over 28' FOW. Right off the bat "phish on" problem it was a week early

back down he went, about 5min. later the Perch moved in and were hitting hard, Slug tried to release this one with out me seeing

Then finally the phish we came for hit about 1.5' off the bottom

 

Ended the day 5 walleyes released till New Years Day, 24 Perch, and 1 Crappie.

 

Chasen Lakers this Sat. if anyone wants us, will be at the Norland Tackle Shop between 7:30 and 8:00
