Mixed Bag

Me and my buddy went out this week. We were looking for bluegills, crappies, and northerns and we found them. We ended up catching alot of fish. We had fun doing it. I wanted to share some pictures with you.

My buddy with his northern. We didn't catch any big northerns but we had alot of fun with our tip-ups.

Me with a crappie.

My buddy with a 10" bluegill. We caught alot of really nice gills.

We caught alot of fish and we had alot of fun. I hope to see you all on the ice soon.

Great pics! Where should we be looking for you on the ice?

Nice job finding the fish Up north... We have a cabin in Grand Rapids and we are planning some more trip up to "drivable ice", hopefully we can find some fish like yours.

Hoyt--your picture reminds me of a nasty wrestler and football star at Grand Rapids a few years ago.

Hoyt,

I was wondering how the ice is. I have a lot on Tank lake near Goodland and I am thinking of coming up and I would like to know thick the ice is. Have you been on a smaller lake in that area and if so how thick was the ice?

Oh by the way nice fish it looks like you guys had fun.

Thanks,

Mike

Most lakes have decent ice. You can drive on most lakes. I have found anywhere from 10" to 18" on lakes. But like always proceed with caution. I always make it a rule not to be the first one driving out on any lake. This year has been screwy. So be careful and have fun.

Thanks for the info. I'm with ya when it comes to driving on the ice. I always wait for someone else to show the way.
