Ran down to the Lindon Harbor for an afternoon of fishing.
Had to move a few times to find an active school but from then on you couldn't get the hook back down the hole fast enough.
Picked up over sixty in about three and a half hours. Fish ranged between 4-12".
Now I've got plenty of bait and a few meals to enjoy.

Nice going - looks like a fun bucket.
On ice, or off a dock?
Ever use their eyeballs for bait like folks do the perch?

On the ice.
About five inches where I was fishing.
I haven't ever tried bass eyes just fillet them out and use the meat most of the time.
The fishing was fast enough today that I didn't need bait, didn't even use a half of a worm before I switched to just using one of Pat's pink purtties.

[cool][#0000FF]Nice work.
See. I toldja to THINK PINK...and it wouldn't drop your testosterone level at all. Pink is a surprisingly good color for almost all species...especially during cold water (ice) fishing.

[cool][#0000FF]Are you referring to that Heddon "metallica" lure?
I make 'em and paint em in all colors...including hot pink, pink glitter, etc. 1/4 oz. or 1/2 oz.
Strangely, with the late iceup and different conditions this year I didn't get many orders for them.
Sounds like the big "heavy metal" bash was about over before it got started.
Are you the guy who heard there was going to be a shortage and bought them all up before the hoarders got there?
