well the crappie are finaly starting,
gills are slowing down,
pike well what can I say, the pike are being pike,
we even got a dog fish yesterday
[signature]
the pike should really be putting on the feedbag very soon , breeding season is only a couple weeks away .
the guys at work tell me that ya' can't fish the ditches up here for pike . some of the ditches run for miles and are wider than some of the rivers up here . i don't know if there yankin' my chain or not but , better safe than sorry !

They do the same thing down here in the ditches as well, and if any one catches you in that ditch with a pike in your hand, well you may as well be shooting a bull elk in june for what it will cost you.....
No chain pullin here, we hooked up with half dozen cisco yesterday and one perch. dosnt seem to be much activity in our regular fishing hole... I expect that to change any day....

we have water all over the top of the ice , our driveway is all ice and slush , the roads are ice ,slush and mud .
deer , turkey , fox, and rabbit tracks abound in the snow under our pines . the farmers have begun turning over the feilds and spreading manure . theres more brown to be seen than the white fluffy stuff .
this can't be febuary .
i sure can't wait to feel a rod twitching in my hand like you had catching those fish !!!!!!

WELL WE GOT ANTS IN THE HOUSE . THAT MEENS THAT ICE OUT IS COMMING SOON , IT ALSO MEENS THAT THE PERCH AND CRAPPIES ARE HEADING FOR THE FLATS FOR SOME PRE SPAWN FEEDING IN THEIR NESTING AREAS .
OLD WIVES TALE ? MAYBE , BUT HERE'S WHY .
THE ICE GETS THINNER , MORE LIGHT GETS THE PLANTON GOING IN THE SHALLOW AREAS OF THE LAKES , SO ON AND SO ON UP THE FOOD CHAIN .
THE ANTS , WELL WHY THEY SHOW UP WHEN THEY DO IS STILL A MYSTERY TO ME . KINDA LIKE THE STEELHEAD SHOWING UP AT THE SAME TIME AS THE DANDYLIONS DO .
