As long as it isn't frozen

So, with any luck, I wont become a fan of ice fishing. That would just really fill up my calander.

A couple weeks ago, I modified a pair opf gloves I have for use with fishing...by modify I mean a grabbed the razor out of the truck and cut the thumb off.

Out I go.

I tried to keep the kyak in the sun to stay warm. Actualy, I just hoped that the sun happened to be where I was fishing so I could be warm. It didnt always work out that way. I stuck with the late fall baits that I have been having decent success with still. Large top water lure and some large slow moving soft plastics.

The entire day was a bit uneventfull, except for a few strikes at the top water. For some reason just getting a strike on that thing is cool, even if the stupid fish doesnt get one the trebles. This one did grab the senko though.

Please take note of the thumb-less glove. He bit soft, but effectively

I have also been out to the damn fishing from shore. I have only broken the tips off of both new ultra-lite rods. So, instead of getting new lite rods, I simply have two that measure about 4'10". They still work right? I like using the tiny tackle at the damn because of the tight surroundings. Its tough to get a good toss out of a 6' or 7' rod when there are tree limbs in a 3' circumfrence. Anywho...I caught this big guy with a crafty little tube set-up.

I'm certain to go out tomorrow, new years day, and try my hand at freezing my ass off. And maybe catch a fish or 6. With that, I'll leave you with some other top water catches from the fall. Enjoy.... (by the way, I had forgot my pliers and had to get that lure out of the pickerel with my fingers, just call me 4 fingered pell).
