As Joel says…Now is the time!

Joel’s post about getting ready set the fever and after watching Chris Granrud and James Holst in Cold Front Crappies, the Dr. said “your outlook is grim BK, your only cure is to go ice fishing!”

Best I could do with these unseasonable warm temps this year was to find an old post to pacify me until the crystals start forming on the lakes.

Light snow…black ice, just perfect for driveway fishing. Gills were biting on purple Ratso’s. Not a lot of moving to stay on fish. Man, life doesn’t get any better than this…’cept if Bret were here.

First gill on!!

Big Pike just swam past the camera!

Packing up for the long ride home.

The ice is coming boys, it’s coming.

Have fun drilling a bunch of holes.

Good Stuff Brian. I may have to try that if things don’t get moving here. I might just sit in the street and jig the pot holes. It will be a lot easier on my auger!

Did you use your Reel-Weeds in this situation?

Looks like something is missing next to those fried fish! A box of your favorite malt beverage.

The Polish Beer was just out of the picture frame Mr. Whitetip.

I should say all the empty Polish Beer…
