King Slammin

If those are the spots u are fishing, no need for navionics. That's poke and hope fishing. If the schools are running, you'll catch. If not, at least the beer is cold

Your p line will work fine.

There are plenty of reputable guys out of Olcott and Wilson for spring king fishing. I am blessed to fish out of these ports each spring as I live here. Vince at Thrillseeker is a friend of mine and is consistently on fish all yr. Look him up and if he has any openings, you will not be disappointed.

First u are going to want to get some navy blue and orange paint to cover up that awful green and yellow (go Bears!!!). Now it should be more than ice worthy and pretty snazzy looking. Make sure u use ice braid as it doesn't absorb as much water as reg braid. I would use a bit stronger of a floro leader as those eyes and the pike u will catch as well have some pretty sharp teeth. U can use a couple hooks spread out if u want too but it's tough to land fish caught on the bottom hook when u have to be careful not to catch the top hook on the ice. Be sure to set up on a structure break (weed edge, sharp drop off, rocky bottom, etc) and early morning and dusk are the best.

My father in law shot a doe with a t/c shockwave (switched from power belts due to poor groupings while practicing). The shockwave never opened. We pulled the bullet out of the shoulder and could use it again.

Merry Christmas to all. If this offends you, I do not apologize.

Try trapping them. It's fun to get to your set and see a nice dog in it. You'll get bonus reds and gray fox as well. They are smart so the fun for me at least is figuring them out and being smarter. Good luck. A double from last week only 40 yds apart.

35 whelen huh? Probably does the job quite well. I hunt deer with a .480 Ruger handgun. 325 gr. Hornady XTP.

Super accurate out of my old cva optima. Never had an issue. However my father in law could not dial them in from his tc. I think he's just getting old. Lol

I already have one. I think trapping will be more fun and effective.

Anyone have any size 2 or 3 coil spring traps in decent shape they would like to get rid of? I've been seeing WAY to many fox and coyote around this yr and thinking about starting a trap line.

Smelt are super tasty. A little bit of work cleaning all the little guys but worth it. A good pair of scissors and a lot of beer makes it easier.

Good job on filling the freezer. Unfortunately it's survival of the fittest and the young ones aren't very fit or smart and are easily killed. My son has taken two yearlings this yr. I gave him a pass as its only his second yr. After butchering many yearlings in my life, I feel it's not worth the time or a tag to harvest one and have told my son the same (from now on) but can't condemn any one else if they choose too. Maybe they will feel the same after butchering s few of their own. I do agree on the multiple arrows sticking out of it being distasteful, however. Anti hunters don't need much to use against us these days. Happy hunting

White pearl sd with a mirage fly. Mtn dew crush e chip hammer fly were best for us last yr.
