SPOONWASHER Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Finally found some fish today after school. Got out of school at 11 cuz of exams, headed to a buddies house for some food and left from there. Right off the bat it was looking like it was going to be an interesting trip because I forgot my weights:( We decided to set the tip ups anyways and just guess on depth. Put a lively lil sucker on it let some line out and walk over to set the other tip up. My buddy yells flag and I thought he was screwing with me when I turn around and see the spool unwinding like crazy:lol: Turns out to be a 25 inch pike his first through the ice. The day just got better from there. Got a 32 inch pike on a tip up with a bluegill and another 25 incher on a tip up with a sucker. The gill fishing was on and off. The camera was the key, seeing how they react and playing with them a little bit. Ended up with 20 gills kept. Best day so far, hopefully things keep picking up. Sorry no pics, there on my phone and I don't know how to upload from there.:no:Justin
mattmishler Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Nice job justin. Kinda nice when you get to go fishing after school
silver one Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 nice Justin. I fished Huzzy as a kid growing up in Schoolcraft and your story brings back alot of good memories. Huzzy always was a good pike and bluegill lake. thanks for the share.
SPOONWASHER Posted January 23, 2010 Author Posted January 23, 2010 Thanks guys! Unfortunately this will probably be my last time fishing down here this year or for quite awhile. Next weekend we're headed up to the cabin and then I'm getting my knee operated on. It all depends on how I feel after that:)
Nailer Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Very nice Justin. I hope all goes well with your operation.
Priority1 Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Justin, You'll bounce back quickly after surgery. Winter is a good time to get stuff like that done. I wish you well. I have two titanium hips that get me by. It's great what they can do for you.
flyman013 Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Good luck Justin. Hope you have a speedy and safe recovery.
SPOONWASHER Posted January 24, 2010 Author Posted January 24, 2010 Thanks for the wishes and words of wisdom! I got to pick the time to do it and I decided there was nooo way that I was gonna miss spring coho and king fishing!! They are doing the other knee 4 weeks later so hopefully I will recover in time.
