Mini Report - 1 pic Included :)

Well today had book the day off because of the mild temps but most importantly was looking forward to hitting my favorite lake for eyes

 

Unfortunately for me the eyes were no where to be seen but managed to land my first fish of 2010

The day started on a positive note when I looked at the thermometer from my kitchen window..... it read 0C

 

Left home at 6:30am and got to destination at 7:30am.... not a soul out on the lake so proceeded to drilling 4 holes to start with. Had 3 set lines rigged with #3 Octopus hooks tipped with dead minnows and a jigging rod rigged with a Buck shot spoon tipped with a minnow head.

 

Ice was good with 10" of black ice, no wind and over cast. Had steady action on one set line but could not get any fish to commit

 

A couple hours went by before I was able to ice this big brute on the jigging rod and boy, was I ever happy to finally see it on the ice..... the battle lasted a fraction of a second, check it out

 

 

After that got a few hit and miss and at 1:00pm called it a day. Got back home around 2:30pm.

All in all was a great time spent on the hard stuff and looking forward to do it again

Hope you enjoy

Excellent!

 

!st fish of the year is sweet....dont matter what or how big.

 

I hear ya about fish that are shy of commitment....they need relationship therapy...they need to learn to love that hook.

 

Good job Jacques

 

now stop whittling sticks (although they are great looking lures) and get out some more!

You said the temps were mild, but that looks pretty dang cold to me with all that snow on the ground!

 

You should wear a jacket with a hood for those cold ears Bubba!
