] OK! well i am just playing with you guys, after not having a decent day fishing since first ice at chesterfield this year, i was looking over some old pics and thought i would share one of the best days fishing i have ever had.
fished sun up to sundown, they would bite anything, couldnt fish more than one pole, water was only about 3 ft deep and they were on as fast as you could get the jig in the water. The number was 177 kept, we kept nothing under 12 inches, the big one was pushing 15. probably only kept 1/3 of the fish caught that day. it took the two of us 4.5 hours to clean these fish and had over 5 gallon bags of fillets when we were done.
bet you wonder where?? well.... i there is a small pond east of Boise, Blacks Creek, that rarely ever freezes over, I had my eye on it for years and in the winter of 07 it finally froze over enough to walk on, well you can see the spoils! we came back the next day and the ice was bad. it must have some kind of fluke, but i have fished it the year after, and only caught a few very bad looking fish, and fished it last year and caught nothing. this pond is probably less than an acre and i am guessing the ecosystem just couldnt support this kind of fish population.
hope everyone enjoyed the pics and hope i didnt get anyone too excited, my total perch tally for this year amounts to only TWO!
