I first of all want to thank James and Mark for taking the time to come down here to Milwaukee to film with me. Working with you guys is a good time and and lot of fun!
We started off ice fishing in the harbors where we did fairly well the first day landing about a dozen nice browns with one really nice one James caught! Before I go any further I have to say James can really heat things up when it comes to a tip up race! I mean this guy seriously can heat up the ice when he see’s a flag pop! So my point is I did not get much time reeling in many fish because this guy would just come flying by me like a track star…..I suppose that’s what I get for being a bit out of shape!
Our second day we fished up in the rivers through the ice and did well on browns and steelhead. The best baits in the harbor and rivers these days were gulp, skein and spawn. It’s too bad you guys can not fish with tip downs or slammers because almost all our fish came on them.
On the third day we did a little something on the crazy side we took a chance as the harbor opened up just for a day or two and Made it out to some big ice flows where we just put the smack down on the browns and steelhead!!!! My guess would be that we caught at least 40 fish maybe 50+ in about 5 hours of fishing. We have some crazy video as well with us ice fishing and fish jumping in the open water behind us…
Laslty on the 1st day we fished some how we caught 2 fish on 1 tip up. Don’t ask me how the heck it happened other than the brown got the line some how stuck in his mouth as he swam by and another brown east the eggs ….you’ll have to see it to believe it and then it’s still hard to believe! I look forward to seeing that video as soon as you have the time to put it up James.
That’s about it…My ice fishing Brown Trout school was a blast this weekend and I’m heading back on the ice again tomorrow!
