while I do miss parts of ice fishing, I never catch anywhere near as many fish through the ice. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I went out to good spots twice a week all winter long and only managed a handfull of fish the whole season...many, many skunkings. I almost never go a week without a nice haul in the summer it'll be here soon enough, and we'll all be wishing for warmth again. Ah, the fickle fisherman
I spent days fishing the outer banks of North Carolina . Then another seven days in northern Ontario Canada walleye fishing. The whole time I kept thinking of the ice. I caught some of the biggest smallmouth and walleye of my life in Canada, but still was not as exciting as pulling one thru the ice. Dont know what it is about hardwater fishing , must be a sickness.
I know I do!
