Kept more than I really wanted to clean and released another 20 or so just for fun. This is one of the lakes I only hit once or twice a year, very little fishing takes place here, it has been this way for the several years I have fished it. I dont want to wear my welcome out and appreciate the limited opportunity to get on it.

Saturday spanked em on the very public lake i have been fishing on this week, figured I had spent to much time in this area already, and had better fish somewhere else on sunday, still no one fishing anywhere near me. Bit till 1030 then shut down, vex still loaded when I left.

Wow the ice is going fast around me, got out early this morning, had 5 nice ones in 5 minutes started releasing some that i proly should have kept had I known it was going to slow down so soon. Pecked away at em, moved around a bit, left around 11 with a nice mess, mostly crappie the gills just didnt want to play today. This pic is for Jim, I know how you like a nice mess of crappie.

Thanks for the picture Jerry, your spanking them good

I hope to get out this weekend that's if the ice is still good, or I might have to head north

Be safe and let me know if you need any help putting fish on the ice

Yup - that's a cisco. We have them at my grandfather's cabin near Baldwin, didn't know there were any around here. Supposed to be fantastic when smoked.
