Went Ice Fishing

Featured Replies

I went ice fishing today, was good to be out fishing, even though it wasn't from my boat.  Went for a couple of hours this afternoon at my favorite smallie place 20 min away.  We only got the one (a rainbow trout), but we are going back Monday morning.

Thats really cool! Nice fish!

I have been out about 10 days so far. I have gotten big brook trout, big perch, big pickerel, and no bass. I have been nailing the fish though.

Moby,

I am going out ice fishing with a buddy on Black Moshannon if you would like to join us. 7-10 inches of ice.

I went out twice.  First day-caught 1 bass, lost a second (or I'm sure it was a bass anyway) and caught 6 bream.  The second day I couldn't buy a strike.  I went out to another pond and near the shore the ice was around 4 inches thick but then I went out to where I wanted to fish and the auger punched through after only an inch and a half of drilling.  I got the heck out of there!  There must be some underground springs feeding that pond.

Nice trout.  That'll be good table fare.  Yum! :)

I have been several times since that pic and only caught one more.  it was about 2 pounds.  The other guys I have been going with have caught some 5 pounders.  One of them keeps making fun of me because I can not catch trout very well.  I told him I would get even this summer when I do all the catching off the bass boat fishing for smallies.

IDbasser, I'm sure that's just their idea of positive reinforcement. ;D

I am sure it is his way of getting even.  I had him out one day and he got skunked while I caught my PB smallie.  I hear about it all the time.

I am sad because I will not get another chance to go ice fishing this season. :'( I miss it, but then there is open water. :) I caught my first ice crappie and I learned how to use the auger.
