Epic

[wc870]

I figured I'd put this here even though it's hard water fishing. 6lb and I have been getting out when we can doing some ice fishing. I had a short window yesterday afternoon after some prior commitments, the the boss called and I had two emergencies to deal with at work. But I wasn’t giving up! I met 6lb at about 2:30 at our spot and we headed out to a known deeper basin of the lake. 6lb got into the bluegill right away settled into his chair.

He did catch a crappie and a couple bass too.



I continued to struggle catching the occasional bluegill with not much success. Now for the epic part or crazy however you want to look at it! I believe it was about 5:00-ish dusk settling in and we headed for the truck. We stopped at a few holes that someone else had been fishing (we had spoke with them earlier and they had caught 3 crappie). I dropped in a Ratso with a chartreuse/white plastic and bam, fish on. The screen lit up with marks. I couldn’t get the bait down fast enough. Bam! Another just as fast as it got near them. 6lb yanked a couple out of another hole 30' away but the bite dried up.
I had pole trouble and quickly grabbed the closest one rigged with a 1/32 Clam chartreuse Pinhead. The next 19 fish came in about 10 minutes!! And not small ones.

I would drop down set the hook and 6lb would pull the transducer out of the way, take the fish of and repeat.
Hard to believe all those were caught in a 10-15 minute span after being on the struggle bus earlier! lol.
