I needed one last ice trip before I give the boat a work out the rest of the spring.
My buddy Chris invited me to join him on for the morning.
It’s hard to believe but there is still drivable ice on our area lakes. After the weather today, I wouldn’t advise it, but we did drive about 3/4 mile to get to our spot.
We got set up, I dropped my jig down the hole and SLAM! The drag started to cry a little and I pulled up a nice 8″+ bluegill to start my day.
The fast start didn’t keep pace, but Chris and I were able to ice a handful of very nice bluegills. The bite was very tough. A spring bobber was a necessity, not a luxury.
The hot lure of the day was a firetiger Gill Pill.
I also attached a photo of a crib. Some folks may not have seen one up close.
Good luck on your next adventure!
