Fished around 4 miles out, and ended up with 5 crappies. There was a good 9 inches where I was fishing, and I seen a small truck head out about a mile or so out of Hillmans.Wont be long now, we're thinking we might try to pull the hard houses out by next week.

CS,

Good to hear!! I just booked the small sleeper with your dad on wednesday, for the jan 7/8/9 weekend, the F-I-L and I cant wait to get up there and hit it smile.gif We're gonna be up there by noon on friday, is there someplace that we could maybe set a few tipups for pike during the day? Or is there a chance that we might find some active craps (we'll have a couple sleds and otter) if we moved around a bit? Looks like the temps will be decent for making ice the next week or so. See ya on the 7th.

Sounds good! Hopefully by then I'll be able to put you on a day bite, but if that does'nt pan out we'll show you some pike.

Tyler:

We too have a trip booked with you in the middle of February. What can we expect for a bite, as far as times during the day? Is it a night bite? If so, what would we fish during the day? Would you recommend us bringing up a small portable and auger? Thanks!

By then the bite is usually going pretty good. Usually the bite occurs right when the sun hits the trees and after, but last year we got on to a pretty decent day bite too, so we had the best of both worlds. So I highly suggest you bring a portable, But if nothing else you can sit in the permanant and throw some tip ups out and catch some pike.Call before you come and we'll give you the report.

      Yep have one that's been sitting for about 4 years now about to get shipped off to the grandsons to play with.  It was fun for a while, the last time I used it was on a few trout lakes and to fish my digital camera out of Red Lake when it got bumped off the table!  🙃

      Yeah but I’ve come to hate using cameras anyway.  Too much hassle.  I have 2 that I could easily be talked into selling.  I rarely even think about em anymore unless something gets dropped down the hole and you want to make an attempt at getting it back.   Like our daughters cell phone last weekend!

      Kind of like a old school, cheap camera. 🤓

      I like seeing what direction they’re going and that I can usually ID fish by profile, movement and speed.  Not 100% but probably 75%+ positive ID based on location and presentation.   I can set the one transducer to cover all the lines fished in the house, see if they’re all set at the depth I want and see how many looks the baits get before being hit - or not hit.   Sometimes it’s the first bait a fish comes to no matter what, sometimes they come through and check em all then go away.  Sometimes they check em all then turn around and go pick the one they liked the most.  Move it or leave it alone?  Are the minnows swimming hard?  Are they crossing lines?  Will fish lift up to check the high sets?  Do they do that more aggressively?  Is a high set a trigger or do they want it low so they can just swim into it?  Is the fish that bites the one closest to the bait or is it one that rushes in from further away to steal it?   That last one has been an eye opener for panfish.  So many times you’re working one fish that won’t go but it’s one that bum rushes the bait from 10’ away that you catch.  All the while with regular sonar you think finally coaxed that first one to bite.

      You should have bought the $5,000 make um bite Garmin, instead of just the $2,500 look at um Garmin.  🤣🤣

      It’s so rewarding to see them come in and everything comes together and equally frustrating to see them come in and do nothing lol
