ice fishing practice

[zackblain]

Well after a nice suntan session in tree this morning I figured that fishing this afternoon would likely be much more enjoyable and productive. Launched the boat at around 1 and headed to a shoal area we had pounded the lakers pretty good at about a month or so ago. Dropped down my favorite 1oz glow jig with a 4" white berkley ripple Shad and had Hit before it hit bottom, a few moments later a nice small mouth broke the surface, probably a 4-5 pounder. The next 2 hours were pretty much nonstop action with tons of smallies and surprisingly only a few lakers. Fished 2 rods, one with jig and plastic and one with a 3/4oz blade bait. Temps were about 45, great afternoon on the water.

Some screen shots as well.

WTG Zack! I caught a pretty decent smallie while fishing with Admiral Byrd for perch on Canandaigua yesterday too (released unharmed). This time of the year the big ones get pretty hungry
