Last shot at the ice

[johnnyb]

I can't believe the season is over (for me) and I only got out for lakers a couple of times.

Made the push on Sunday to get on the ice before it's gone....hit up Vernon for a few hours and got nada....except my pal who had this ugly thing swim out of his hole:

 

 

Could mark fish on the screen, but couldn't get them to move....so by noon I was packed up and headed to Rosseau...on my own by now as my pal had to leave.

 

Couldn't QUITE get to my spot....but landed within a few feet of it....separated by an old pressure crack that was uncrossable.

 

Settled for 45FOW and after a couple of hours and a few different lures, figured out how to make them chase a LimeyAngler special...got 2 small ones....but they put a huge grin on my face! Now the ice gear is put away and I don't mind

 

 

 

See you on the softwater!!

Atta boy Johnny! Tomorrow's our last ice trip too.

 

And that's a giant water scorpion. A true bug of the hemiptera family. Nasty looking bugger!!
