    Thanks to you all for the info. Ice fishing at -10, still better than working in -10. Thanks again, also nice pics

    I know you’ll probely think I’m nuts but when the mayfly hatch is prime I like to go after shortnose gar w/ a chart shad-rap. fast action and fun. they hit like Northerns and and release the plug very easily

    Hot days Hot eyes.Got out Saurday 9 eyes in the boat.This doesnt happen to me. 1 legal 3 over 20″ 1 at 24.5″ and a nice fish.Tried Dbq rig w/no luck and went to trolling wallydivers and bombers.Caught most fish forward trolling and near the channel.What a Day! My youyngest boy(20)caught (the biggest) and remarked that he finally knew what it felt like to be me and he was surprized to see me fish like him.Again what a day!!

    I’m usually trolling cranks or casting them and my luck varies greatly. lately i’ve been trying live bait but just dont trust that I,m doing it right.With the Dbq rig is a 5/8 jig heavy enough or should I go bigger? Not real good but sure love getting out their
