So most of the areas around here are closed to lion hunting, so now we ice fish. A couple of buddies came over this weekend. We hammered the yellow perch, which are small but very abundant in our local reservoir.
Day 1
Each of us. Perch and crappie.
Day 2
Day 3
Well, we were tired, so we sat around drinking coffee. The fellas left. I wandered down to the reservoir to see how our Airbnb guests were doing. They had a good morning but were packing up.
I decided to do some exploring. Poor time of the day. If I found fish willing to bite, might be worth recording.
I tried a couple of spots. Nothing. Got a hint of a fish on the east side of the channel, so I set down. The first 2 were slow, then the school showed up and I didn't get 30 seconds with bait without a bite for the 3 hours.
My son eventually came down and joined me for a bit. He caught the biggest catfish.
It was a long night of filleting. But worth it.
Today's totals.
