BIG FISH Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) got out to one of my favorite little lakes for a few hours last night hoping to get a couple walleyes missed a really good bite right at dark and that was it but after it got dark i started to mark these fish coming half way up off bottom and give my minnow a bump then go back down. i figured it could only be one thing so put on a smaller jig and some maggots and BINGO got onto some nice slabs kept half a dozen of the big ones for a snack threw the rest back, no walleyes but i guess these will have to do oh by the way all these pics were taken with the iphone does a better job than my digital this was the size of the throwbacks last weekend got onto a few pike there small but fun to catch on the spoon in 30 fow went 3 for 3 Edited January 7, 2011 by BIG FISH

BillM Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Wow, those are some nice slabs!! That's one fish I wanna put a beating on through the ice this year.
skeeter Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Hey theres nothing wrong with a pan full of crappie even the snot rocket is good for an interesting fight! now im drewlling. but my hut is out on simcoe as of yesterday and tomorrow my son and I are gone for the weekend!!!!
Dutchy Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Nice job. Planning on trying to get some crappie this year though the ice too.
Rod Caster Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Nice crappies... I wonder if you would have noticed them without the fish finder.
johnnyb Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Yeah...I think I'd trade those slabs for walleye....nicely done!
aplumma Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 I will take a crappie any day over a walleye for eating. Nice lot of fish. Art
BIG FISH Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Posted January 7, 2011 thanks for the comments guys and trust me im not complaining crappies are my favorite.rodcaster this is my 3rd year with a flasher and the more i use it the more i love it. these fish would only eat if your bait was half way off bottom. definitelly helped me ice those slabs
aplumma Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 I have spent countless hours watching my electronics and from my earliest days of using a black and white flasher to my lss-1 unit of today I still flip the switch to the flasher mode to help me understand what I am looking at. Art
