Thread: Fishing fever!!!

Henry,

Caught a bunch before it iced up. Was thinking about making a ice fishing trip this weekend, but the temperatures are going up all week. I guess it's back to making some lures.

Mike, Whats up! its good to hear that you caught some already. maybe in a few weeks I may try some fishing. I have a need to cast a line. you should post some pictures of your lures. I like how people can be creative and make their own. thanks for your response bud!

I was catching some from shore at Marshy Hope right before it froze up. Got about 5" of ice now. You probably could catch some there ice fishing, but I got too old for that anymore. Here is some I caught a week before Christmas.That is my friend Kevin on that picture. He came down from Baltimore to fish with me. He caught quite a few perch. I said why are you throwing them back. He said he don't feel like cleaning fish on Christmas Eve. LOL! That was right before it froze up.

Anyone fishing the spillways in Md. or Delaware? I know they are catching crappie ice fishing Broad Creek off of Conawingo Lake.

Henry,

Just did some glow plastics for the ice. I need to make some ice jigs today. Here's a pic of a small area I caught some perch in before the ice closed it out and a limit of crappie from the week before.

Here's the ice jigs. Did a quick job powder painting them.

ahh shucks, thats gets me excited to see you caught some good perch. it teases me but hey it will only inspire me to get out sooner. I'm glad you got to fish out before water froze up.thanks for the pictures. I enjoyed!

crappie this time of year??? I thought they were only found when mating? here in the city they are only found around mid April and on well at least thats all I know. I see you you have a calling for em eh? crappie is actually my favorite freshwater fish to catch!!! great pictures bud, and man I'm impressed with your jigs. you've been doing it for a while I see. I like the attention to detail on the ice jigs. I wouldn't purchase jigs anymore if I knew how!!! Good stuff mike. may crappie up just a bit up north to me... ill have to adventure up north soon.
