Clint nice score man, dont be afraid to try them nils master jigging raps on the lake now, walleyes and smallies will both hit them in summer also.

Oh yea.   Some of these will not be limited to winter use.     Too bad I don't feel the urge to get out today.   12 hours on my feet yesterday did me in.

Clint,
Looks like we need to hit some ice together..
I'm so incoherent right now with lack of sleep but just wanted to say , Nice catch TOO :)

I also forgot that I looked at some older stuff and it looked pretty bad.   Next thing I know There are 4 guys bidding up an old steel pole.   It went for close to $1100 

Survived night 1 and went to a little bass pond in the Catskills .
With pretty much zero sleep we put in 6 hrs chucking frogs for bass and tiny jigs for pannies
. The catching was ok the quality of fish was less then. A bunch of small lmb came to the rubber worm , lots of snot rockets came to the frog and a few small gills and crappies on the jigs. Only 2 picture worthy pannies and all went back , just not enough meat on them to bother with.
Fun day but now it will be a tough night 2 for sure.

Clint , I'm sure some of those spoons would be great for lakers and the jigs on the perch.
You'll have to come venture down for some adk ice this year :)

I can see it now......a big sign on 81 N of 'cuse saying CLINTS TACKLE SHOP off next exit.
 

a few shots from yesterdays adventure.. If only more were like these it would have been a fish fry dinner toninght instead of burgers & fries..
 

If I owned a shop I would not have time to fish       Nice pans RJ.  I know the feeling last 3 trips from Oneida barely got me 1 meal combined.  Cleaning 3 fish is kind not even worth of dulling the knife

Finally got to get out this morning, after the storm I thought we would smack them.

first troll hit this guy

couldnt get another bite for about two hours, moved around a bit and picked up some silvers. Sky got ugly but didnt rain.

made a big move and ran west to a spot I go to when its slow and hit this guy.

i missed two good bites and steve missed one , two keepers a 20 and 18, good to get out though.

Pretty sweet John . Glad you got out in some decent weather. 2 is better then none and nice fish to boot !! I usually have best luck pre- front more then post but man, it's just been a non stop rain storm so take it any way you can get it at this point.
Thanks for sharing the pics .. Great stuff..

Peace & Tuna
