Did a little fishing today...

Finally, after a long, cold winter, I was finally persuaded to do some
ice-fishing. We went to Green bay off Lake Michigan for a nice day on
the ice. We used Automatic Fisherman for static lines and jigged using
Jigging Rapalas tipped with wax worms. The Automatics did a great job,
and of all the bites on the rigs, we only missed two fish, which was a
far better average than our jigging!

The majority of the fish were whitefish with one bonus walleye. To give
you an idea of the scale of the fish, the base on the Automatic in the
background is 23 inches long. I have a lot of fish to clean, some for
fillets and some for smoking.

i love fishing...and no doubt that's a fine catch, but i reckon i'd as
soon have a colonoscopy as try to trick a fish in that environment and
manner. y'all drink anti-freeze up your way, don't you?

LOL, you'd think so, wouldn't you, but, I drink Bacardi & Coke or scotch.

Actually, it was really nice out on the lake yesterday. It was in the upper
30's/low 40's and with only a layer of long underwear, jeans, decent boots,
a sweatshirt and a Carhartt coat, I was quite comfortable. That's saying a
lot, because after two heart attacks, I don't do well with cold weather like
I used to. And I'd much rather fish in those temps than have something
jammed up my butt! :-)
