Chicken Creek East

Went with Parker and Mac to CC East.  It was a cold morning and day on the ice.  We trudged our tents and augers out to about 10-15' of water and cut quite a few holes.  We fished until early afternoon and only managed one on the ice it was a nice 21" cutt that Mac caught in the only hole that was having any action.  We tried all types of baits, lures and set ups.  Parker actually watched a school of 6 or so swim up to his bait nose it and swim away.  That is the cool thing about ice fishing, you see all the way to the bottom in your tent.  He was shocked he actually watched it happen and quickly brought in his lines and tried something else.  The trip off the ice wasn't nearly as easy as getting to the lake, it took us 45 minutes to work our equipment back to the truck.  Post holing up to our knees the entire way.  Everyone around us got the same action and were cutting holes all day long trying to find the right spot.  Sorry no pics today left the camera in the truck :(

Elmer fuddin' and walking on water

This weekend has been a lot of fun.  The boys and I got out for some fun stuff.  We went bunny blasting on Saturday with Joe and seen a number of cotton tails and jack rabbits.  They were fairly safe with us shooting at them LOL.  We went out west and walked quite a bit.  We finished it off with lunch @ Chubby's.

Parker and I went to Scofield on Friday and cut a couple holes.  The ice was 4-6 inches thick so it didn't take to long to cut holes.  The power auger is down and out for a while until I can figure out what is wrong with it.  Anyhow when we arrived it was a balmy -11 and didn't warm up a bunch.  We caught a couple and missed a couple.  It was a Bluebird day on the water and can't wait to get back on the ice for another go around.  We will most likely hit Strawberry a couple times over break and maybe Rockport.  til next time keep smilin'
