Crappie day on the View!

[lunkerhunter2]

Hit Pineview with djremo, Lil'Lunkerhunter and djremo's kids at 8 am on New Years Eve.
Started off very slowly then started to heat up as the day progressed.
I had a hit early on and then about 10 i caught a huge crappie! Over the next 3 hours we landed 20 crappie, all over 10" but 4 that we released, 5 perch that were all dinks with one nice 9 1/2" pig. I had a tiger hooked for about 15 seconds and that was it. I also caught 3 very small gills.
Ice was extremely slick. 6" or so and very solid even on the edges. The air temp never got above 25 degrees when we left at 1:30. It was about 0 when we got there. Most fish were caught on a ratso and waxie on the bottom in 53' of water. They were very finnicky.
Also, be prepared to keep all of the fish you catch in that deep of water. We only had 4 fish revive that we tried to release.

We fished Pineview on New Years Day. Started late buticed 8 nice Crappie with one going 12" and 4 going 11". I also had a Tiger Muskie on long enough to see it swimming under us through the clear ice. I couldn't get on the ice as it finally broke me off. The wind got bad and it got cold so we left by 3:00pm.

JeffMig, BLM and I got there late morning. We met up with MGB and his buddy Tim. BLM and Tim got a bunch of Crappie and a couple small Perch. I got 1 Crappie and a Bluegill, Mike got a few Crappie with one very nice one, a Perch and a Gill. I had a Musky on but it ate my 4# line in about 2 seconds, fun while it lasted.
The picture shows JM, MGB, BLM and of course my very handsome self.

Actually, we had a great time till djremo's littlest boy fell on the slick ice and busted up his nose and face pretty bad. If we would have been deer hunting, it would have been a dream blood trail.[pirate]
