BIG FISH Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aplumma Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share 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.
