Where did you catch your Christmas fish?

[kwiggy]

Spent the whole vacation fishing with friends and family so I definitely had a successful fishing vacation. But, the fish weren't all that eager to comply. We were below average at Zipple Bay on LOW, but still caught fish. Very few fish were caught in the Bemidji area after the LOW trip. Anybody have a successful vacation catching fish. You don't need to give out any details, just tell us where you caught them, what you were using, how deep you were, What time of day, etc...

Ive been out 7 hours in the cold without a house today, ZERO

I was out 6 hours Yesterday, NOTHING

Its understandable though because I dont have a Flasher and its my first time out ever.

I spent this last weekend on Mille lacs, very slow. Still had a good time, just had to do it not catching fish

I had a few vactation days to use before the end of the year so I took off the week between Christmas and New Years.

I took my son perch fishing on Winnie the day before and the day after Christmas. Those were fun trips, lots of action and lots of fish on the camera for him to watch. We kept enough for a meal and released the rest.

Thurs and Fri after Christmas I was on LOW, out of Babblers Road. Thurs was pretty slow, not many fish caught or marked, although I did catch a 32 incher (eel pout) and the weather was beautiful. Friday was much better fishing, marked a lot of fish and had a steady stream of biters most of the day.

We were talking about going to Red on Saturday but ended up doing other things so no fishing that day. Now we're back home, wishing we would have fished on Saturday

Overall it was a great time and I'm glad I was able to do it.

I can't tell where I caught it but I got this little beauty on Christmas Eve.

I have to say it's nice to see such a big smile for a small fish from a man who's hoisted so many nice ones. Way to go Ralphie! I had the same expression when I finally caught a decent gill after sorting through 15 or so small ones.

Thats what I get for posting photos of me when I was little. Ah well...

I've caught a good number of "big" big fish but its the "big" little fish that really get me excited. Those "big" little fish are rare, consumed by the old fill the bucket logic. Finding these little guys is half the battle. That particular fish took 2 full days of ice time to catch. We probably caught 4 fish over 7" long and everything else was under 5". When this one popped out of the hole, you bet I was smiling!

Managed to release a 5 1/2 two days ago and still keep a limit of two pound walleyes to hand out to the inlaws. Pretty good Christmas, all around.
