Well, I decided to finally give it a try today for my first outing of year. Felt good to get the cobwebs out n get on some hard water on the Saginaw River.
I always post my first walleye of season no matter the size. First was one was bigger than previous years but still a tad short of being a keeper. ![]()
I didn’t get out to 12:30- I wasnt expecting much since it was middle of afternoon but I started marking active fish right away, I ended up catching about a dozen or so dinks n couldn’t believe my luck n ended up with an additional 5 keepers! Nothing to write home about but keepers r keepers!
Got me some white Gold today! ![]()
Bite was best from 12:30-3:30. ![]()
I had 4.5 inches of ice. Current was a little fast so I used a #7 blue n silver rapala did the trick! Water was very dirty also. But the fish I was marking were very active and that was a good sign.
I started out with perch color rapala but I was getting them to come in but not bite? As soon as I switched colors I started catching!
Weather is not going to be good later in the week with warm temps and rain coming so hopefully I can get another trip or 2 in before this ice disappears!
Merry Christmas to all and hopefully a great ice fishing season this year!! 🎣😃
I seen this on a friends post: 🤣![]()
‘Twas the night before ice in and all through the house
Spikes in the fridge and so were the mouse (ies)
The rods were all tucked in their cases with care
In hopes that cold weather soon would be there
The wife smiling waiting to make fishing jokes
“You call that a keeper? It must be a hoax!”
The weatherman lied about 20 below
What’s this, skim ice and six inches of snow?
One dog by my bucket and one in my sled
This summer the cat left my hub all in shreds
Just waiting for morning, come on clock thick tock
An hour to wait, today’s going to rock
And what to my bloodshot red eyes should appear
My buddy his truck and eight cases of beer
We loaded the bed with one final shack
I know I can out fish this crusty old hack
Away we go down the dark snowy road
Wind chills at 0 that ain’t freakin cold
We go through our checklist what did you bring?
Remembered the heater that’s a good thing
Of course now the coffee is starting to work
Pull in to that Kwik trip don’t be a jerk
We get to first ice spot that works every year
Wtf everyone and their brother is here
We walk through tent city to get to our spot
Past guys grilling venison burgers and brats
The ice is alive with sounds of good cheer
Augers and laughter from guys drinking beer
If you say pre Dawn is too early to drink
You forget what you did when younger I think
The ice looks just like a sheet of Swiss cheese
Someone’s already begging for shiners ah geez!
Laughs were had and memories made
Wish this was my job so I could get paid
The day goes great and we had a great time
One after another. What, a fisherman lyin?
I take my catch home proudly “what do you thinks?”
My wife smiles and says “ Why did you just keep dinks?” 😡
