First Ice Bass 2013
Hit my ice honey hole again today after work. Ice still good.
Went after the bass I lost yesterday! I set a rod with a dead shiner on the bottom. I wanted to catch catfish and eels. Never caught them through the ice!
Same hole same shiner same trap. Didnt set the trap before a fish hit. Got it to the hole the pickerel spit the hook! Small fish!
I rebait. Set the trap. On to the next hole. As a I was setting up the other trap in front of a blowdown tree, my other flag pops.
Small bass! Rebait and wait. Try jiggin for panfish.
1hour goes by. My flag pops in the magic hole.
Line was screaming off. I wait try setting the hook and I miss the fish!
I rebait! I watch the shiner swim away into the depths. Then I saw a monster pickerel hit the bait. Guess what happened!
I miss the fish. I rebait. No fish on this hole again!
I wait and try jiggin for some panfish.
My dead shiner rod bends! Hopin for eel or a
Catfish. But I caught a fat pickerel instead!
