I decided to hit Bulldog tonight. There were two trucks parked at the access with a guy and his dog coming in. He was fishing pike. Don't remember if he said he got any or not. As I started out the other two anglers who were fishing started heading in. They were along the North East shoreline I think. When we passed each other I was surprised that it was two women. They said they didn't have any luck. I got out to the hole and started walking around with the Vex. I took longer than expected but I marked a fish, so I drilled a pair of holes. When I got my lines down the fish were gone. I went out and walked around with the Vex again. There were a few frozen up holes in the area I was searching. Eventually, I marked another fish so I got the Ion and drilled a couple more holes. I lost the first couple of crappies at the hole. They bit on the VMC Fly with Maki Jamei. I got the one I took a picture of on the Glow Demon and minnow. There were a few other fish that picked at the minnow but never pulled the bobber down. I went out and walked around with the Vex again and marked a pair of fish, so I drilled holes. This is where I spent the rest of the night. The fish were amazingly skittish for first ice. A lot of lookers. I ended up with 6 crappies on the VMC Fly with Wax Worm. I lost about 5 fish that hit as well.
9 Crappies
