bigugli Posted February 11, 2012 Report Posted February 11, 2012 Well, I had an afternoon to kill. Tried to convince the son to join me but he wimped out. Went down to the wall and broke up the ice enough to put a line out in 3-4 ft of water. First fish was in 5 minutes. There were a few of these and some of these and a massive school of these Caught well over 50 and the smallest were 8". Kept enough for 2 meals. It were a very busy 3 hours.
Joeytier Posted February 11, 2012 Report Posted February 11, 2012 Awesome! Nothing like a feed o' slabs. Wish i could say i've gotten into the jumbo pannies like that this winter.
pics Posted February 11, 2012 Report Posted February 11, 2012 The big crappie looks to be a white...nice catch
Live2fish85 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Posted February 11, 2012 Very Nice. Sounds like a great afternoon.
icefisherman Posted February 11, 2012 Report Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) Great job Bruce. Was there enough ice where you were and how is the ice down to the spot we catch those smelt each year? I'll be suprised if ice is good but who knows....maybe we should go get some crappie instead of smelt this winter?;-) Jordan was asking me about the smelt the other day so I though I should ask you....

vinnimon Posted February 11, 2012 Report Posted February 11, 2012 Thats awesome Bruce, esp due to the lack of ice. On another note, you are very considerate man, making them fishies wait for dinner and you leave them something to read

Cheers, Ice Fisherman The ice I fished was 1/2" thick. There is no ice at the smelt hole so far.
Garfisher Posted February 11, 2012 Report Posted February 11, 2012 Very nice crappie (especially the white crappie), well done on finding a school of them from shore.
crappieperchhunter Posted February 11, 2012 Report Posted February 11, 2012 Good job Bruce You deserved a better day after that disaster of a perching trip last weekend I hope your giving Robert the gears for not tagging along.
Roy Posted February 11, 2012 Report Posted February 11, 2012 Good stuff, Bruce. Quite the variety on the menu there.
livinisfishin Posted February 11, 2012 Report Posted February 11, 2012 Great report! That is an excellent variety of fish caught!
