Nice way to top off the season and the freezer.

I heard there's a lot of ice up there. Slocum still had 11-inches on dam side Monday, it felt different drilling through it though, like too easy to drill through, ice is slowly deteriorating.

PABassman is straight out prompton, straight out of the trailer.


Sorry had to.

Hit Lake Carrey Sunday. Caught 2 fish in 8 hours. 1 Crappy and 1 bluegill. I would see them all over my jig/grub but they wouldn't bite!!!! Tried shiners, wax worms, salted minnows. Watch the fish finder and they would come up, and drop back down!!! UGH!!!! All day!!!! Was frustrating seeing fish, watching them come up to your bait, and not even nibble. But, I was fishing.......

Best bet for Pickerel is probably the classic Pocono pickerel swamps. Promised land, Tobyhanna, Shohola ect. Gills at prompton are decent.

PaBassman do you use steel leaders when fishing pickles? Hahaha no seriously?

 

[Don]

I started using a 6-10" piece of 17lb braid for a bite tippet

I dont target them. Catch my share bass fishing. I got one about 22" at Lackawanna thru the ice.

Those are the ones I'm after.

When you drop in the transducer and you see this, you know its gonna be a party!!


Non stop for hours. Caught about 100 fish. Kept 40 gills, 10 calico.

OMG you’re having too much fun. Yummy. Of course I haven’t any idea what the screen is saying but it is colorful.

Nice.

I still can't read a fish finder. Nevermind those damn flasher things

The right side is a regular graph. I run a split screen in ice mode

I thought you got a graph and were using it?

 

[Don]

I have a typical hummingbird finder and love it. But it is so small that I keep it set to show fish shapes when it sees them. I love it for the depth reporting and I’m succeeding on catching suspended fish with confidence. This past fall I was in sunken trees. The water was 35-40’ deep and the tops of the trees stuck out another 10-20’. White pine. When I was fishing it was marking very few fish. Then a Storm hit and the screen filled with fish in minutes. Amazing what you don’t know sometimes.

Looks like you got right on a good school of them. Definitely sounds like a successful ice fishing trip.

Yeah. I still can't read those
