Macbride Marti Gras

Hope everybody got Fat Tuesday under their belts without any serious repercussions.

Met up with Gills and Specks last night in a small village that had formed over the deep brush by the main ramp on MacBride. The bite has slowed considerably, and it’s very possible that exposing myself in echange for bead necklaces might have been more productive.

The flashers showed fish absolutely stacked from 18 to 30 feet, but not many takers, and the ones that did bit so light that there was little or no indication they were on other than dead weight when I lifted the jig. Not a terrible night, I ended up with probably 8 or so keepers out of the bunch which should supply the family with crappie fillets some Fiday night in the upcoming weeks.

Ice probably won’t be around for long… Might be time to start thinking about uncovering the boat I guess.

I’m hoping to make a last trip to one of our local lakes this Sat Gianni.
I was down there yesterday and the bite on an other spot had only improved marginally. Still about 9 inches of ice. They’re talking in the 50’s so might be wearing our chest waders
The spring Walleye run is just around the corner up on the Miss. R. so might be trading the shorty rods in on some real ones Gills
