First fish of 2015

Sitting here next to a dock in a marina off the lake... My brother and I have pulled in 6 or 8 nice crappie. I'm really digging this new Lowrance sonar unit. First fish of the year... A 12 incher!

Putting christmas decorations way today I found myself staring longingly at my crappie rods. Can't wait for spring.

Good catch!

Yea Ill be itching to get after some crappie he soon enough. Soon I'll have to start getting to 12ft V bottom all ready to hit the water again.

Good luck and let us know how it goes. East Harbor is definitely on my radar as well. Usually some nice 'gills in there.

Cold water crappie are hard to beat in the frying pan.

Not a bad first day. The ice is about eight inches thick but the water is pretty cloudy right now. Got eighteen keepers between two of us in a couple hours. Will be going back later this week and on the weekend. There was no open water and the goose holes by the ramp are all froze over.

Ha! Come on man... Get your ass up here and just try it one time. You'd love it. It's not as scary as you think it is.

 

[bowhunter1023]

I'll take your word for it! If I actually liked to fish more than I do, I may consider it.

I don't usually fish much throughout the year in general... but there's something about ice fishing that just fires me up. When the bite is good, it truly is a blast. I mean like jump around, giggle like a little school girl kind of fun. It's strange, really. I've caught shit loads of walleye in the spring during the jig bite, and flipping casting harnesses, and trolling spoons and crankbaits, and casting from piers, and everything in between... but I never get as excited as I do when I pull a fat walleye up through the ice. Dude it's a fuckin riot.

I do love to eat warreye, so that would be the one thing to motivate me to get out there!

 

[Fullbore]

Good stuff Jim!
