Nice fish!

[caseynewberg]

Thanks! that was my first fish yesterday and the on/off switch on the back of my reel was off so as soon as I stopped reeling when it was above ice it feel right back in the hole, lol...

Well, thought I'd share my report from this weekend. Been out to this spot a couple other times and did fairly well out of there. Only difference was this was the morning. Wasn't sure how it was going to go. Well, the going was good. I was using my old chipper auger and that sucked to drill holes but it was worth it. Fishing was steady up to 9:30. Caught a bunch of crappies and a few sunnies thrown in. Today, they took pretty much anything. Started off using ratsos, pink and white, but switched to a chartuse power minnow and started catching some bigger ones. Also, a bonous catch on the power minnow was a 9.5" sunny. I was pleasanltly surprised and in awe that it fit in its mouth. I wish I'd gotted a pic of that. Ended out the day with three crappies and two sunnies. A nice way to start off a beautiful Sunday.

Guy's don't be jealous of my monster!!!! You just couldn't resist could you, you had to put that up!!!! hehehehehehe. He was cute!

[Jim Almquist]

Chad you just have to work yourself up slowly that way you won't pull a muscle when the big one bites

[muc33]

Jim, you have me all figured out. I was sore from drilling holes, so there was no way I could pull up a monster 9 inch gill. I am glad you know what I was going through Jim, thanks buddy!!!

Quackaddict9- what did you use to catch thos nice crappies? Those are some nice looking fish

[Quackaddict9]

Thanks- Ive been catching most of the nicer crappies on Northland tackle (jigging spoon, forage minnow jig, bro bug jig) tipped with dead crappie minnows but have caught a few on Shrimpos/Ratsos tipped with waxies.

[Icefisher23]

Thanks!

[fishcast]

Quite the crappie there quackaddict! Interesting you chose dead minnows......

[fishcast]

Not that I am ready for open water yet (cause my favorite time of the year for fishing panfish is late ice and will soon be here) but I got this green sunfish in open water. There was people icefishing less than 100 yards away.
