limeyangler Posted December 12, 2009 Report Posted December 12, 2009 Hi All...finally got on the ice today after many false starts. Was meant to be going to the Red River in Manitoba for greenback walters...but it got cancelled. So decided last night to hit a local lake with my buddy...he could only go for an hour....in the morning...not the best time for the walleye on that lake, and so no surprise we skunked. SKUNKED AT THE FIRST LAKE WITH MY BUDDY LEW....GREAT TO GET OUT THOUGH! I was all fired up after getting on the ice so when i got home i went out the front of the house. Got out a good way for early on...but ice thickness started to change so was fairly close in , in around 9' FOW. NOT AS FAR OUT AS I'D HAVE LIKED....BUT A START Got 3 very small Jackfish...and missed 2 walleye bites, not bad for an hour in a spot i was kinda forced to accept given ice conditions. Great thing was i got my first fish of the season on a jigging rap. That is a season target already acomplished with the first fish. I have armed myself with a whole heap of different spoons , darters, jiggin raps....as i want to expand my horizons past the good 'ole ji and minnow......even though that works pretty darn good! 3 SMALL JACK TO GET ME OFF THE MARK Goin over to Lew's for supper tonite, i'm gonna work on getting him out tomorrow, but i'll go alone for sure anyway....hopefully a walleye full report tomorrow Tight lines all I IS ONE HAPPY CHAPPY TONIGHT!

crappieperchhunter Posted December 13, 2009 Report Posted December 13, 2009 Happy you got out Simon. The good old jigging rap is one old reliable that works for many species...big and small. I tip them on the bottom treble with maggots/spikes for panfish and minnow heads for walleye. Thx for the report!
