Ice Fishing Report.

Slow.....

Went out on Prior Lake the weekend before new years.

Saturday, 12-29, with Eric, Zach, Eryn, and Liz. It was pretty eventful. We were shocked to find 16 inches of ice on the lake. After an hour of getting the kids set up to fish, they wanted to go home. So Eric took them home and came back with Zach. In that time I actually caught fish. I had about 6 or 8 bluegills. Nothing worth keeping, but still, at least I caught something.

Sunday, 12-30, I went out again on P.L. This time with my Dad, Eric and Uncle Dave. Dave was catching bluegills, and Dad and I each caught a Crappie. We only stayed out for about 2 hours.

This last weekend I went out to Carl's lake to Todd's permanent fish house. Which, by the way is coming together nicely. It's not done, but it's at least out of the wind and warm.

Friday night, 1-4, I got skunked. Not one fish. While right across the house from me Todd was bringing them up once every 5 mins or so.

Sunday night, 1-6, Mel and I went out to Todd's house again. This time I had a little better luck. I think I caught 5 or 6 Crappies. Todd spent the whole day out there and caught a bunch of Crappies and a Northern. To bad the Crappies are a little on the small side. They're good eatin'.

This weekend is the Sportsman's Show, at the St. Paul River Center. Maybe I'll be able to get some tips on what I might be doing wrong, or on what the fish are biting on, cause it's not been anything that I've been giving them.
