Finally got out on Bremer Pond ice fishing. Caught about 25 perch that were in the nine to ten inch range. Got five LM bass, a couple nice bluegill and one crappie. No giants, but we had fun. The water is certianly clear, we were in about 11-12 ft and could easily see the bottom. Dwight stopped down for a cocktail. No giant bass or northern pike, but the ice fishing season is young!
I promise I will post a picture or two next week after I am off the dogs. My sargent is going with me next week and he is much lucky. Since we got a couple NP at 38" last winter, I am expecting a 41" in the next trip or two. That is a big NP no matter where you go.
Got a 28" NP that got involved with several other lines so it was a fish and a large knot. Also got a variety of perch, bass and crappie. Dwight has the pictures from the evening. No fish pictures though, just the happy ice fisherman at work.
How thick is the ice on Dwight's pond now Stick?
By this morning it has to be a good 12". Should be able to drive on it in a week or so with our chilly temps. They say 12" for a vehicle, but 14" makes me feel better. Don't want the Fordson on the bottom of Bremer Pond.
