slow but stead - davetclown - 02-27-2008 slow but stead fishing report from south east michigan, the bite has been slow, but steadely slow... you have to work hard to get a mess of gills the past few days with the steady high preasure system that locked down on top of us... I have been managing 10-15 gills or crappie per day, nothing special, just minnimum keepers... some one on one of the neighboring lakes caught himself a chanel cat though the ice last week. woohoo.. would have liked that one my self, it was a good 25 incher with lots of girth his wife told me this morning... sorry I cant tell ya what lake it came from... I will be back out every day now untill ice is gone. we have 10 inches... but remember there is no such thing as safe ice.....

Usually there is at least 2 or 3 pulled up by now . [signature] Re: [davetclown] slow but stead - lonehunter - 02-29-2008 Wow , not ten minutes after posting that last message an freing called me up wanting to know how to icefish for one . He's entering the edenville ice fishing derby this weekend . [signature] Re: [lonehunter] slow but stead - davetclown - 03-04-2008 sorry, I mis-quoted the cat size, it was a 38 incher... I would emagin that all you need is the location and a half dead shiner... and a whole lot of luck... there is one guy I was talking to over the weekend, he was saying to take chicken liver and make a spawn bag and put on the bottom hook and about a foot above use a crappie rig wire and set a live shiner.... sounded to me like a plan, dont emagine you would have to worrie about turtles this time of year.... every time I hook up with chicken liver I get me a big o'l turtle...[laugh] [signature] Re: [davetclown] slow but stead - lonehunter - 03-05-2008 Anything on that monster snapper in the lake last year ? [signature] Re: [lonehunter] slow but stead - davetclown - 03-13-2008 no one has reported seeing him, but I sware I could smell him one day last summer.... [signature]
