What a weekend on BSL.Saturday was a great day with my Dad.Come to find out he had never caught tullibees before
Well he can't say that anymore.
His comment sticks with me.As he's laughing reelling in a 3 pounder he says"they sure do fight".
It felt good to put him on these fish!
We cut it short as the bite dies off and left happy recanting the day.
Sunday arrives with a day out fishing with Team Ice Heave(Mike Walbridge).
Mike is a great fisher and he also is a pro staffer for me at http://www.ckoutdoors.com/
Well we punched holes in the same local as Saturday which was close to a 6 foot flat.
The fish however were located in the 26-30 feet of water.
Just to give you an idea of what we were into ,here's some pictures of the mornings take.
We also got into some crappies and gills plus a burbot and a sucker that was caught 4 feet under the ice...go figure.
The bite was mostly earlier in the day,but by drilling many holes we managed to find a few other aggresive fish to bite.We used our flashers(Marcum) http://www.marcumtech.com/to find the fish and then proceeded to try to get them to lift.
It's the end of February and with March setting in the late ice bite is close at hand.
You can tell that the tullibees have yet to start there late winter gorge of the mayfly larva ,but that will start soon and with it a very aggresive tullie bite.
This is also the time of year that the garbage on the lake starts to show itself.
I'd like to remind all fishers to try to pick up after those that are unable to clean up after themselves.
It may only take a few minutes and yes ...why can't those that brought the stuff out pick it up?
Just know that you are doing all of us a great service by doing so.Feel good about what you've done for all of us.
