After spending over a week on Mille Lacs and experiencing probably the toughest bite of my life, I was glad to be on familiar waters. A few buddys and I hit the water shortly after sunrise and got right to work. We didn't have to punch any holes because because not much froze over night. The fish were cruising in all habitat types and feeding aggressively. The majority of the holes produced one or two fish but it was necessary to keep moving constantly. As the sun started to rise the fish slid shallower into the weeds and because quite tight lipped. We refocused our attention on a channel that the fish cruise while chasing emeralds and shiners. Once again we found active fish. They bit well for a while before moving on. As we rounded our holes over and over we decided to move back to our starting point before heading out for holiday festivities around 2. While the crappies were a frequent flyer today, the bluegills kept the lines tight the majority of the time. Sure felt great to put numbers of fish on the ice again!

Nice looking gills Dylan. Sorry the bite didn't work out on your trip but that’s fishing. I have been doing a few perch in the islands but really haven't been fishing much due to the holidays and family commitments. Got a Fl Keys trip scheduled with some ocean fishing down there and then will start my ice fishing season when I get back. Hopefully the flat fish will be biting by the time I get home.
