Year end report! Looking forward to the ice season

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Year end report! Looking forward to the ice season

Post by CyrusG »

It's been a great year, last year i learned a bunch of new spots on the ice and caught a variety of species throughout the season. In the spring of 2014 the water was a lot higher and colder so once walleye and pike opened i was catching huge eyes mid day in water so shallow i could wade in. Once it opened in the spring this year the spots i had luck in last year were too low, after a bit of searching it didn't take long before i started catching nice slabs, eyes, pike and the odd musky, i caught a few decent 10-15 pound carp but only targeted them 2 times this spring after dows was filled. There's a few lakes i fish out of the city that are good year round but most of my time spent is wading around in the city. The season isn't done yet though, i might have 1 more outing before i call it quits and wait for the ice season, sometimes fishing in a heated hut with a flasher can be better than open water fishing in my opinon :lol: ! Hope everyone has a safe ice season

These are all the pics i have, I've released many nice fish fish quick without bothering to take a pic most days i'm out unless i catch one that's giant. The fishing around the city can be a lot better than some people think!

The splake are my buddies and bro's but i missed some big ones that day at my buddies private spot on one of the bigger lakes. We could see hundreds cruising trying to spawn, even with a live minnow on 4 pound line infront of their face we got a bite every hour or so. I'll get my first splake next time! They were monsters
