I went in to Little Falls today to get my eyes checked. I should be getting new glasses in about 10 Days. We didn't get back to Jenny's until around 5PM. I went and checked Rock and it's 80% open. I checked Bulldog and it's 90% open. I then went to the Grumpy Old Man Hole and Peter had just gotten there. He missed a really nice sized silver bullhead, then he caught one. He threw it back because he wasn't going to keep fish tonight. I had seen enough so I went home to get my rods. But first I went to the NE access on Sullivan and it's wide open. The NW access looked open as well. I still think there is some ice on the SW shore line, but it should be gone by opener.
After getting my stuff together and some warmer clothes on I got out to the GOMH around 6:30PM. Peter had a silver bullhead for me right when I got there. I joined him on the SW side and I caught a silver bullhead right away and in to the bucket it went. I got another one about 10 minutes after that. After a bit of a lull I decided to try the SE side. I wasn't there long and someone else showed up. So I immediately went back to the SW side. Not long after that I caught this 12.75" slabber bullhead. I let it go.
Around that time some big floating weed mats started floating in giving us trouble. We still caught an occasional fish. Here are a couple jumpin bullheads that I got through that junk.
T.H.E. Jig in the bullheads mouth tipped with a minnow is what I caught everything on tonight. Peter also caught a 12.75" slabber bullhead. His also went back in the lake.
You can see the weeds we were fishing around behind him. I ended up getting 3 jumpin bullheads and I believe I caught 10 silver bullheads total two of which went back, one of them was to small.
All in all it was a good night of fishing. Had it not been for the weeds we probably would have caught a lot more fish.
