Personal Best Ice Pike, Rock Lake

 

4:15-9:00 PM 14.4' jus tout from the Cane

0-20℉, PC, 0-4mph W

I drilled out my holes from yesterday, then drilled two sets of holes closer to the cane. I was a bit of a clown show and drilled the set of holes a littledeeper than I would have preferred in 15' of water. I set up in the set by the cane, and that was the only place I fished. Camera visibility wasn't good.  I could not see past the Chicken Jig. I did see some sunfish. After sundown,t I started getting some crappies. Action was slow, but it never stopped. I did a much better job of catching my bites tonight. I ran out of propane, went and scoped the other sets of holes for life with the Vex and a Trap. I didn't see anything that excited me. I went and got a new propane cylinder for the Little Buddy and got it fired up. I caught a crappie, then had a bit mark stare down the crappie minnow for a good minute before it bit. It was a big pike and put up a great fight, and so I landed my new ice fishing PB Pike, a very fat 29". I caught a few more crappies before calling it a night at 9:00 pm
