Home Forums Fishing Freshwater Anybody else itchin for ice fishing

Went out on the ice today since I wasn't working. Had a good day by my lonesome, managed to ice 5 nice rainbows and missed 4 more. They wouldn't bite anything but raw shrimp and if you jigged the rod they wouldn't even look at it, picky today.

Caught and released this monster, even hooked him through the mouth!


Here is a nicer fish, had some shoulders on him and stripped line out of my little baitcaster while we did battle. I guessed him around 2 pounds give or take a few ounces.

All of them went back down to fight another day.
