Hammered out a few limits of 1st ice crappies

[crappiekeith]

So we started about noon or so.
I took the lead with the spud. Immeadiately got a warm fuzzy feeling when it took 5 good whacks to bust through.
We had a solid 4-5 inches so off we went.

Once out to 18 fow we chiseled several holes and got to rearin!!!!
Boy did that feel great.Nothing huge ,but I was only after picklers anyway for the G-T-G.
I have this mission to ruin you guys from eating regular pickled herring.

I must say I love my new Austin rod and the Artic Armor was great.

Rick caught a decent gill that gave him the best fight of the outting.

He was bearing down ....I asked to get him to pose ,but he had no time as fish were chasing his Jig.

He ran chart./black and I went to chart/pink.


Here's a little video.
Little fish too,but who cared ...we were getting our rods bent!

We are going to try to find those better gills tommorow.

In closing I have to say that I'm bushed.
What a great feeling.After the ribeye I have a bunch of crappies to clean and get into the salt brine....getting them ready for the pickling brine. :D
