CATCH OF THE DAY

[NorthernWinos]

Fishing has been slow....

We've been bringing home an occasional small one and have seen a fish
lurking in the sidelines...peeking in, backing out of the
hole.....slipping by the side.....sneaking around....Finally today Jim
got a poke at it high under the ice and brought it home to Mama.....It
was a trick shot....sidewinded it...7#-7oz...

Guess he and his buddy want to move the house as the lake is flooded with
several inches of water on top the ice. The fish are running out of
oxygen and traveling high under the ice. The Sportman's Club has
turned on the aeration system near the public access....In past years
we have found the fish will school up near the open water....So, with
only 10 days left in the season it seems like a lot of work, but,
that's what they like to do to pass the time....So, Moving Day is
coming next.

Good luck to Jim in moving the house. Still getting some good fish there Jim

I can't believe they would end season so soon. The ice won't be out for quite a while will it?

The season for Game Fish ends Feb. 22nd this year....it gives the fish a chance to prepare to spawn....They are really loaded up with eggs now.

The season remains open for pan fish...Sunnies and Crappies all year...as well as some rough fish like Suckers, etc.

Game Fishing season reopens in May....YeeHaw!!!
