EC1's 2012

[EC1]

Since barely anyone posts reports anymore, let's just all do a 2012 summary.

Summary for my year so far...

 

Blade baits are golden during the coldwater months

 

Can't seem to find any spring crappie fishing pictures.... Got a few here and there. Nothing special. Fished for walleye once as well.. Had a few decent fish but no PB's

 

Got better at fishing for lakers and whities

 

Jigging for softwater lakers is very similar to ice fishing for them

 

Figured out how to use a flipping jig(Never got anything over 3 with them though )

 

Flipped all summer but got my biggest largemouth on a jerkbait in the early fall...

 

Fished the OBF this year, and embarassed myself big time.

 

The dropshot is my #1 Technique.... USE IT MORE.

 

Found the effectiveness of a football jig

 

Fall smallies are my absolute favourite thing to target after September. Here's a PB at 6+.

 

Put a few of non fishing friends onto a few days of decent fishing.

 

Goals for 2013

- Catch a 5+ Largie

- Get better at jigs

- Barely did any fall crappie fishing for 2012... Maybe get a few trips in for next year

- Learn to fish crankbaits and swimbaits better

Nice Report EC1.

 

Looks like you got some nice dishing in this year. That's a nice chunk of largie you got on the jerkbait.

Some new goals to consider for 2013

- spend less money on TW.

- don't feed musky $25 jerkbaits

[fishnsled]

Nice report and recap. Looks like a great year to me as well.

Well, Black Friday 2012 is coming up.... Spend it all then . LOL.

Realistically, there is nothing I need for 2012, but I'll be needing a few more tricks up my sleeve for 2013.

 

And thanks for the feedback guys!

[MJL]

Goals for 2013: DON'T CUT YOURSELF WITH THE AUGER ON EVERY TRIP!

 

Definitely can't wait to get back on the ice again with you. You're the only one who brings a stove and cooks

[GBW]

Edwin, fish my hut on the ice not Will's and you will have a better ice season for sure... BAHAHAHAHAHA

 

sorry, I just had to...

[Skud]

Looks like quality time spent on the water paid off. Nice fish.

[Rod Caster]

Great year indeed. I'm especially envious of your summer-time whities. That's something I'd also like figure out locally, although find it difficult to even attempt.

[MCTFisher9120]

Great season for sure!

 

Thanks for sharing

 

MTBF

That smallie is huge!

 

too bad we didn't get to fish together much this year during the softwater season, but i'll see you on the ice!

[Moosebunk]
