TroutnMuskieHunter Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Decided to hit the river yesterday afternoon to take advantage of the warmer temps and see if I could raise a few eyes for dinner.. Got set-up around 4:00PM and shortly afterwards, it was non stop action ...I was off the ice by 5:30PM with a 5 out of 8 record...The bigger eyes were caught aggressively jigging a spoon tipped with a full size golden shiner....the Windlass tip-up had a jig head and same size shiners, but produced much smaller eyes... I kept 2 for dinner and threw the others back for a chance to grow bigger...
Leecher Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Great report and pics Steve Real nice looking eyes Got to love it when fish are active and get non stop action What was the length of the ones on the pics? Looks to me like around 17" - 19" Good job Steve and thanks for sharing Jacques
