DNF


Thanks to Neiken's I didn't have to snow blow the whole driveway. We got about a foot. I tried to get out to my spot on Bulldog, but there was just too much snow. Dang it anyway. Not sure if this is going to be my last trip of 2021 or not.

Final Trip of 2021

 

Ended the Year with a Double

4:30-7:30PM Bulldog Lake 2021 Holes
21-25℉, Cloudy/Snow, 5-20mph ENE

I was on fish right away, but it was slow until about 6PM, when the action picked up. They really didn't want THE Jig. Pretty even between the minnow and the VMC Fly. I ended the night with a double. I would have stayed longer if it wasn't snowing so hard. Thank goodness the wind was at my back. The roads on the way home were treacherous. Fortunately, a car headed South on a passed by just as I got into the truck.

57 Crips

Christmas Eve Smackdown On Bulldog

21" THE Jig (Wht/Pink)

10" THE Jig (Wht/Pink)

 4:15-7:15PM Bulldog Lake 29' in front of Holy Family 
30-39℉, PC, 3-12mph NW

I was hoping the Bulldog would be free of people seeing as it was  Christmas Eve. I was not disappointed, nobody was there. I was a little surprised there weren't any new holes in the area, and the ones from yesterday were frozen up enough that I couldn't open them with my body weight. I predrilled the holes from last night. Didn't mark anything for the first 10 minutes after putting the minnow down. About 20-minutes in, the first crappie of the night took a minnow. It was then AWWWWWWWWWWWWN for the next hour or so. I stopped putting a minnow down after 4 or so fish because they were aggressive on THE Jig. I was getting bites immediately every time I dropped. I wasted maybe 10-minutes trying to get a fish on the Slab Rap. After about an hour, it slowed down with fish moving in and out. I landed the pike after a good long fight. The last bite of the night was a pike. I didn't take my time, and it broke me off in the hole. Totally my fault. I left them biting. It was so nice fishing in the Legend XL. I had the Vex up on a bucket and would often stand up pull the transducer out of the hole. then sit down and resume fighting the fish.
