Here's some fish for you

I have had many guys up to go fishing.
Here's some photos from the past 2 months.
I would like to say almost every fish if not every fish was caught on T.H.E. Jig which I tie .
They are for sale at my for http://www.ckoutdoors.com/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=1
you will have to register to get into the forum and converse,but you can just view as a surfer.
This is an early ice slab caught on one of those lakes that freezes up 1st off right after Thanksgiving.















Here's Steve aka Mallard with a few nice slabs during early ice.














This is Bruce aka EForce with a nice mule caught during a pre scout for a get together cko was having the day after.That gill he caught was 15 oz!
















Here's a great slab video!



Andy aka ShouldBFishin has learned how to lift these mules too.
We sure do get to laughing hauling in this type of quality crappie.












Cory aka BerkleyBoy is like a brother and has a drive to catch fish and teach others. He is from Iowa so we do not get to see each other ,but maybe a few times a year.
This guy is a nightmare for Bull gills down there.
















Then there's PJ....what a freakin animal.He lives in Ill. and stopped up for a visit.
He's learned the way of T.H.E. Jig about as quick as anyone has.Last I heard he is even catching trout on them.
















Then there's pops, had him out a few times too.He's taken to that jig like all of the rest
and to get him in on these mules is like nothing I can describe.















There are so many more pics to show you from this season so far ,not to mention a bunch of videos showing all kinds of fish from walleyes to eelpout at http://www.ckoutdoors.com/phpBB3/index.php. Hope to see you there.
I have several other pro staffers besides the guys above like Kevin from out in the New England area.His website... http://www.backwoodssportsman.com/















Then there's Tod Todd by Chicago who's involved with the NAIFC tournement series.
Jared aka Double J is just north of the Twin Cities, he fishes bass tourney's.















There's Dave Buck from S. Dakota who puts the hurt to those pannies on open water and John Pearson from the Mpls.area.
Mike Walbridge who has http://www.teamiceheave.com/ residing just below MilleLacs Lake
Last but not the least is my mentor and honorary staffer Mr. Dave Hoggard.For some reason I'm not able to post anymore pics in this post ,sorry!Come on over to meet the guys and see all of their adventures too.

Last weekend hunting gills







Spent the weekend hunting blue gills on a small 50 acre lake.



We fished in 10 fow by an old cabbage bed.



It was cold and we had high pressure but we manged several nice gills.
This weekend we may go back for them ,but I've got slabs in my future hopefully.
There's a few guys stopping in from www.wisfish.com plus Mallard from CKO's prostaff and I'm hoping to get them on top of some of those nice crappies 1st off Sat.,We'll play it by ear for Sundays target.
Have fun out there.

Welcome fishers!




I'm new to this blogging thing ,but it looks like a fun thing to do.


I'll try to stay upon the weekly fishing trips and sharing what worked.


We have been on the ice for over 8 weeks now here in Aitkin county.


Slab Crappies and Bull Gills have been the target for the most part outside of a weekend up with Cookie on Upper Red Lake where we drilled some pretty nice walleyes for 2 days.


You can see allof the reports plus several others from all over the country in my forum .


Go to this link to see them. http://www.ckoutdoors.com/


I'll post up some pics to give you an idea of what we have been catching with more to follow shortly.
