Me and my friend Aaron went fishin with Capt Jim on 16 & 17, this is the way it went.
Day 1: We got out on the water at about 6:45, after a little lesson from Jim we started fishing, after about 5 min Aaron got the first Bonk-miss and the another Bonk-miss and a few min later another bonk-miss. I was thinking whats going on here He's getting all the bites, then suddenly Bonk-Bam FISH ON! 28 lber. Then we dropped down again and I get another Bonk_Bam FISH ON! 20 lber. We dropped down again and I got another Bonk-Bam FISH ON! 23 lber. I started thinking this is so easy a girlscout could do it. ( right Don).
Then reality set in 4 more bites for me 3 or 4 for Aaron all Bonk-misses.
Day 2: On the water about the same time. I had the first Bonk-miss then a few min later Aaron had a Bonk-Bam FISH ON! 24 lber. We dropped again Bonk-miss for me Bonk Bam FISH ON for Aaron 25 lber. Then the rest of the day was Bonk-miss Bonk-miss. we had about 8-10 bites each and could not keep a fish on for more than 5 seconds, Talk about frustrating, I think Jim was about as frustrated with us as we were with ourselves. We definitely had our chances at more fish. All in all it was a fun trip, Jim was a great guide and I cant wait to do it again next year.
P.S. Jim you should put together a Hook-setting training video for ice fishin idiots. LOL
