Sorry Nick, leaving again Sat morning.....back to the East coast :-(

Anyhow, taking full advantage of the few days I am home. Back on the river today, Smallies are stacked up thick on structure. Minnows or minnow baits are my go-to at this time of yr.  I was using a float and small jig with fatheads, drifting the bait over the top of the rock bar.

My PB was caught late this fall on Mille Lacs. I didn't measure it, but it was probably 38". It was built like a brick ****house and scaled at 16 lbs, 1 oz. It hit a Lucky Craft Pointer 100 fished on 6 lb fluorocarbon right next to the boat. When I saw the strike, I thought I had a world class walleye. I was disappointed at first to see that it was a pike.

Had a couple hrs to kill this morning.  -26....lol. decided to park on top a scool of crappies. It wasn't a big school, but it didn't move for two hrs :-)  Had to work hard, but managed to bring a few topside.   Had 7 inches of ice below me, making it pretty quick this morning :-)

Went out to a few lakes the last few days where you measure 8 inches in one spot than 50 ft over from that is only 6 1/2. Ice is really inconsistent so make sure your checking it if your driving anything out onto the ice.

Was out on a lake west of town last week and managed to pull enough crappie for a meal both times I was out. Was a bit slushy but since it was a small lake it wasn't unmanageable. They were going nuts for a small hyper-glide like lure.

I went out to Little Rock yesterday, and the ice was is great shape.  All the snow blew of and the slush melted and refroze. 9" of ice where I was only managed one northern missed a few bites.  The wind wasn't to bad once inside the Trap. Just don't go out without Cleats!  

  Here's the fish and a new addition to the back of my fish house.

Had a great morning on a local chain Monday. A friend and I limited out with 9"-12" crappie within about 4 hours. Caught a personal best gill in there as well! Not huge but big for me at just over 10". Excited to get back out once it gets warm enough again.
