[allaboutfishing13]

Fished on Saturday with 7 good inches of ice. 25 smelt and 4 lakers. Smallest laker was 25 inches. Biggest was 34 inches. Two of the lakers were on the smelt rigs on ultra lights and two were on white tube jigs tipped with smelt.

Nice going Jared . Good to see at least someone has good ice to work with at this point.....still a question mark around here whether it will get there.

I'm hoping....its cold enough but the wind is brutal and is damaging whatever has been setting up....all my stuff is ready though

I'm chomping at the bit to go fishing. Where did you fish that there was that much ice?

[allaboutfishing13]

A lake about 20 minutes from me. It won't matter where you go this weekend.

I don't think I'm the only one ready for trolling already though. Didn't get my full fix in the summer.

i hear that except i never feel i'm set for the derby i try to bring a new technique to the tournament every year and i spend all winter thinking about it

[Sk8man]

I had three pages of double sided notes to myself of things to try last year and when I got out there went cold turkey because of changing conditions

 

Looks like Jared is off to a great start on the ice fishing season....so hurry up ice! (around here)

Not a bad weekend over all. 6/11 on lakers and 63 smelt total over two separate days of fishing. Biggest laker was 31" and smallest was 20". Smelt were above average for size and numbers were impressive. Also lost an atlantic or a rainbow. Be at it again this weekend. Good luck all!
