Well for the first time in (what seems to be)a long time I had the chance to fish ALL weekend…
Started out Friday afternoon…got out on the ice about noon and fished until dusk…..set up in a bay off the main channel…4 tip-ups set in shallow (4 to 6 ft )water…with shiners.
The flags were flying fast and furious (say THAT 5 times real fast ),and if you need the exercise there’s nothing better than chasing flags on slick ice,…. ended up with 3 northerns,30,31,and 32!!
Adding to the fun was it was a beautiful day!!
Saturday was a little gloomier, and colder….and so were the flags.
Fished from 7:30 until 5 with only 2 flags..
1(seemed like) good one broke off at the hole(straightened out the snap) and then,just before we left,brought in a 34 incher.
Slow day but still fun!
Sunday we were at it again…getting on the ice about 7:15, we were only set up about 15 mins when the first flag popped up….bait stealer…seemed like the pattern for the rest of the day…8 flags,no fish,no bait.
Getting a little bored I decided to see what was happening elsewhere and who do I run into but Bret!
Good to see ya again bud!!
Bret told me Cade was out and about but it was too durn long of a walk!!…Sorry Cade,it would have been good to BS awhile, but I’m a lazy old fart! …next time AGAIN!!
Left the ice about 2…The big game coming up and all,so while not a perfect day,it was a GREAT weekend
2 pictures…1 of my 31 and 1 of the 34….
(It was a meat hunting trip,thus the gaff picture… can you say pickled fish 
)
Hope everybody had as good weekend as I did.
