Another Winter Has Come And Gone

The 2017/18 ice fishing season came in hot and heavy right out of the gates in early December.  I actaully did my first day of ice fishing this year on Nov 11th in Saskatchwan on lake of the prairies.  It was the earliest I have ever been on the ice and we managed to catch a few walleyes and perch for a fish fry.  

I followed that trip up with an early run to Lake of the Woods the first week of December and the walleye fishing did not disappoint.  We managed great #'s of fish with some good qaulity mixed in as well.  Even managed to catch my fisrt sturgeon through the ice.  Shortly after hooking it I knew I was in for a battle, probably took me 20 minutes to land it, and it eventually came up a 9" hole.  

We spent the Christmas holiday's at Lake of the Woods with a group of about 12 of us.  The fishing was once again great jigging in 22-25' with gold, red, and glow baits.  

Got to finish off the season with a great trip to the northwest angle filled with lots of walleyes, crappies, and laughs.
