ICE FISHING - JUNKIE STYLE!
Sunday, March 1, 2009
This year was a lot fun on the ice. The action was scattered throughout the day but when the fish decided to bite, IT WAS ON!
This year we were joined by Brent Wallmer, JR Kranz, Jeremy Crull, Stan Hesgard, Bryce Wickersham and of course the Wickersham brothers (Larry, Brian, Mike and Steve). We have been doing this trip for about eight years now and every year the action gets better and better.
On the first day, we caught 8 nice pike and 2 large mouth on tip ups. We also caught a pile of blue gills on jigging rods. Our plan was to pre-fish the lake and to find out a strategy for day 2 and it worked.
The second day was amazing, we caught at least 15 pike on tip ups and few bass and blue gills on jigging rods. We also had a fresh northern pike shore lunch and an-all-around good time. The weather was cold as usual but we were prepared. All of our ice shanties were heated, we had gas powered augers (Thanks to Jiffy) and transportation was supplied by our buddy Jigs Crull
- Thanks Jigs and to all of the Junkies for such a great time.
