Attachment 150986Attachment 150987 Decided to get out on the ice one more time and it was still a good 7 inches thick but got a little slushy when I left ( still safe though) The fish never turned on but had enough action that I stayed til 1:30 and no one else showed up. A swedish pimple and a grey/pink hair jig was the best baits. Still enjoying ice fishing even though it's alot more work for this lazy fisherman:biggrin
Very nice, like the pic
Good job!!
not gonna fill a very big freezer with those nice pics
Fished it last saturday. You had better luck then we did. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Don
Looks like you did OK to me Doug!!
Its too bad ice Melts at 33 degrees was nice day out yesterday looks like you did pretty good to me
Good job, would love to catch some of those black crappie.
Nice job! What kind of auger do you use?I am thinking about purchasing one.
Hey PC I use an Eskimo 5" auger, I think I bought it at Minnesota Bait & Tackle. It works pretty good but I'm sure there are better ones out there. I've been considering buying an adapter for a battery powered drill that will let you drill up to 35 holes on one battery of course now that we're at the end of the ice fishing season I'll probably wait til next year. By the way remember the bigger the auger width the more work it is to drill a hole, I've found the 5" is big enough for most all sizes of crappie, the difference between the 5 & 6in. is significant as far as effort to drll a hole and did I mention I'm a lazy fisherman:yikes :fishQuote:

I've caught some nice white bass through the 5" hole but a wiper could be a problem, for some reason i haven't caught any at Middlecreek and I know there's some nice ones in there....now I might have to wait til next year to have an answer for you :Doh:.....looks like the ice fishing is over.
My answer would have been, then me and the hybrid will part ways. Both of us, happy campers, fish because it wasn't caught and eaten. And me, because I'm outdoors enjoying nature at it's very best. No big deal! Happy Icing guys! DKQuote:

WTG DKV, I'm surprised you found ice that thick....but for me I think it's over unless you count the ice in the slips at Pomona docks...I'll go to LaCygne until some other lakes open up....Good luck on the ice and be extra cautious with this late ice.:twocents
