Leecher Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Well guys finally gave the Gulp Alive Fish Fry a go today...... The plan was for Paul aka Whitespinnerbait and I to head out to McLaurin bay and try to entice the pannies to take our offerings while watching over our still lines..... temps was @ -8C with no winds, bright and sunny.... Left home at 1:00pm, had to make a detour to get a dozen minnows.... got there at 1:30pm, to our surprise, the Bay was full of anglers and ATV's racing around.... had a hard time deciding were to go. Met Andrew at the entrance, a local guy that fishes the bay on softwater but never tried hard water before.... very cool guy and knowledgeable Got to our spot and setup right away and was in 10 to 15 fow. Rigged 3 of my tipups with live minnows and so did Paul.... Here a pic of mine Did not take long, got my first perch jigging and just couldn't believe that I would get a strike that soon Here is a pic of it and the rig I was using.... We caught around 15 - 20 of them in a spawn of 2 hours and that's not counting the ones that tried to take the minnows on our tipups Here is the results of the ones I caught.... nothing big but lots of them The big brute that Paul caught and mine and Andrew, his first fish on ice ever, WTG Andrew The pike and bass were no where to be found but manage to catch this guy Fish fry out numbered the live bait 20 to 2 and I will use it again for sure.... That's stuff is lethal and really works... once fish bites.... it won't let go Andrew and I manage a couple of double headers near the end and that was awesome..... the tipups did get some action but we weren't successfull at landing them, only got our minnows ripped off after setting the hook Thanks Paul and Andrew for a great couple hours of fishing on ice Was real nice meeting you Andrew and fun watching you get your first fish on hard water Hope you enjoy Until next time Jacques aka Leechman P.S. RICH I think I have the answer to your question yesterday.... that stuff really works Give it a go if you can buy it locally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
