    Last night I had the pleasure of Crappie fishing with John23 here at IDA. We fished on a nice little NE Metro lake. We were over about 18-20 FOW, and initially started just a 2-3ft off of the bottom with pink glow jigs tipped with a cute little crappie minnow who was about to be served as lunch We weren’t getting bit so we decided to move up and try to find suspended fish about 10ft down.

    John, did catch the first fish, but overall I would say he got schooled by the girl who was ice fishing for her first time

    I think it was painful for him to receive such a glaring defeat from a girl, but I think he took it pretty well. We turned on the tube and watched the Bachlorette and CSI Miami. The only thing that was missing was a bottle of HOT 100

    Here are some pictures from the event.

    Yeah, forgetting the booze was a big mistake. But it was Monday, for crying out loud!

    Byron???

    I may not know how to catch crappies through the ice, but I do know how to build an ice house … right Nicole?

    Yes, the icehouse was sweet! All it was missing was a shower. Don’t worry John I’ll let you catch some of the fish next time.

    It was pretty tough on my ego to be outfished by a girl, but I think I’ll get over it! Besides, I think I earned extra points for unhooking that bullhead for you!!

    John,

    You forgot to play the “Well, if I just had moving water underneath me” card?
    That always works for guys struggling with their masculinity! I bellied up to the bar long ago!

    I can’t believe I missed your post, Steve! Next time I see you on the river I’ll be sure to swerve over the area you’re fishing. Struggling with my masculinity…

    Then again, I can never have too many excuses available!! So thanks, I think!?!?

    I just re-read Nicole’s original post. We watched the bachelor and caught 6″ crappies. I was definitely having issues with my masculinity that night.
