Late Ice Brookies


Recommended Posts

On Sunday I headed out with one of the usual suspects to chase some late winter square tails. After a brief detour to ascertain some forgotten snowshoes, we were headed out of town by 5 am. By 9 am we were fishing. Things started off slow but true to form, this lake produced the first speck shortly after 10 am.

Fish were very selective in the early a.m. taking only jigged presentations tipped with minnows. From 11 am until 1 pm fishing was fairly steady and we managed to ice several chunky fish - including a 2lber and a 3+ I lost fumbling with it at the hole. Note to self, keep camera closer.

Throughout the day we had regular visitors...these whiskeyjacks kept stealing our lunch and bait...

i don't know if any of y'all noticed, but i'm wearing my adidas. not to often can you wear shoes in your snowshoes, then wear your kicks all day on the lake. beauty day indeed wd.

15 k or 15 yards, there just aren't the crowds up here. Most places, cept for haviland and trout lake, you get the lake to yourself

 

And don't be too sad about losing the 3 lber...they ain't all that good a eating anyway

Hey, in one of your pics I saw Mr. Williams on the ice.....is that your secret weapon?? LOL!

 

 

My secret weapon that day was a swedish pimple tipped with a full dace however my fishing partners secret is an old battered williams that was his grandfathers. He always uses it! On days when he's outfishing me he'll often tell me that "yours is missing the tarnish"...
