B-Town Slabs

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:01:00 -0600

Was able to get out for a bit today with Matty Breuer and Spense to chase down some slabs a little ways north of Bemidji. Wow, did I pick a cold day to run up there! Even the slightest breeze chilled you to the bone. Luckily we spent a lot of the morning drilling holes and chasing fish. Found some fish to start but they were all coming through solo and it took a lot of coaxing to get them to commit to a Toad. As the sun got higher (and it got a LOT warmer out) we were seeing the fish grouping together a lot more, and when you had more than one fish on the screen they would get very competitive and race up to the bait and slam it. The sizes weren't very consistent to start but once we upsized to Frostee spoons we were able to select for the larger fish in every group we found. Having the dynamic

2012 metro gills

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 11:21:00 -0600

Got a chance to get away to fish for a couple hours last night. Nova finally let me out of work. The fish were not too fired up but we did put about 12 in the bucket let a few go. Took out Puzzler for a metro gill bite. He was happy with the action once they picked up. We had about 15 holes punched and just had to keep moving. Bite started around 4:45 and ended close to 6:30. Still mark a fish but would not bite.

Tightlining

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 11:19:00 -0600

Tightlining is a skill that evolved in Michigan ice fishing in the 1970s that involves which is a form of sight fishing, where you try see the bite,not unlike watching a spring bobber or rod tip strike indicator, only the line, usually a hi visibility line like gold Stren monofilament, is your bobber. The biggest advantage in tightlining is, instead of watching your rod tip, you are looking down in the hole underwater, away from wind, and freeze ups, and closer to where the action is. they work up and down in the water while imparting subtle "dabbles" of action to the bait to trigger strikes. many times you can see the strike as the line twitching or moving sideways, other times, it may be just a subtle change in the load on the line as I am working it. That is how they were biting

Red Lake Report crappies

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 11:22:00 -0600

Walleyes are slowly picking back up, the shallow water is producing some nice fish with the deep mud still producing some walleye as well. Perch and Northern are biting throughout the lake. The crappies are still being had as well I havent been on them like this in years, its great and I know it will only get better.
