p4 ice report

With all the negative posts on mille lac, I decided to stay around my trailer on p4 and ice fish for the first time….Ann the fish won big! Me and a friend fished methodist in Frontenac two different evenings and scratched out 8 walleye/sauger that maybe woulda got 10″ long. One morning we fished the pepin area out away from the marina and found only one perch in our 40+ holes on a steep break line I’m familiar with down there. Our biggest adventure was getting down to (and out of) goose lake. Let’s just say the terrain and zero fish will make sure I don’t do that again unless I pack much much lighter! That ate up 3+ hrs and gave me leg cramps for 2 days after that haul! Our last morning we hit the mouth of baypoint in redwing and managed 4 eyes that once again were 10″ tops! All in all we worked real hard, stayed mobile and got our butts whipped! No pics of our giant 10″ eyes, sorry guys.

I could have told you to try elsewhere. Especially goose. Just ask next time save ya some pain. You must have snagged some shad in there at least. They are thick in there this year.

Yea goose was full of what I assumed were shad. The positive report I do have is on my new Honda lite 8″ auger…. it was the first real workout its had and it was great! So far its been nothing short of the high expectations I had for it.
