Been doing pretty good on the Walleyes over the last couple weeks, but due to a bunch of snow and rain last week things are starting to get a bit sketchy at my primary spot.
It's hard to make out with this crappy picture, but those few blue pixels on the chunk of ice is one of two kayaks, and there are two guys standing on that chunk of ice fishing as it floats down the river. Not something you see every day for sure, but it reminds me of the stories my step dad tells about how his dad and grandpa used to go out to the edge of the scour hole beneath the dam and and use their spuds to break off a chunk. They would float down and jig until they hit the ice at the downstream end of the hole then get off and do it again. Also a lot of guys out lately pushing boats across the ice to get to open water.
Decided to go out to a Plan B spot tonight, left home at 6, was back by 8. A good 15" of ice, no walleyes or saugers, but just as I got done setting up my spread a tipup popped and had this on the end.
Probably the best one of the year for me and first Perch I've ever bothered to weigh, 1lb 2oz and released to drop her eggs.
It's hard to believe that March 17th last year I was catching Bass on topwaters, winter just doesn't want to let go this year.
