2-16 evening bite was on fire!

Well, the fishing gods must have figured I've finally paid my dues for this season, and blessed me with an awesome night of fishing! Fished just south of Gladstone in 30 FOW. Was on the ice by 5pm. Didn't mark much until around 5:30. Marked good numbers, but they weren't very active until about 5:45. Apparently that's when somebody rang the dinner bell, and it was on! Between 5:45 and 6:30, I landed 11 walleyes, and lost a 12th! Only two of the fish I landed, and the one that got off in the hole, were undersized! The other nine were 16 to 24 inches. All on #9 Jigging Raps. The first two were on the Glow Hot Perch pattern, and the rest were on Glow Tiger. I was fishing them naked, jigging aggressively about 4 feet off bottom. Considering I was only jigging with one line, (no tip-ups,) I couldn't have asked for a much better 45 minutes of fishing!

Hopefully this means the late season bite is starting to turn on. We did hear of several nice fish being caught in the morning. Doug Belhumeur stopped by the shop today with a 28 inch, 9 pounder he caught on a tip-up and sucker minnow "south of Gladstone."

Other than that, the ice is still in good shape. The snow drifts are pretty well knocked down. A person could get around with a 2WD car easily, now. Sounds like most of the accesses are still in good shape, but we did hear that the Terrace access is getting bad, and the crack out front of it is REALLY bad. I wouldn't recommend taking a truck out from there, now.

Here's a couple pics from tonight, and Doug's fish.

Well as they say, "sometimes it's better to be lucky, than good." A buddy of mine was fishing about 100 yards away in slighly deeper water at the same time. He hardly maked a fish, and only caught two short walleyes! Right place, right time, right bait, I guess.

Caught 5 more tonight, with only 2 being keepers. Same program as last night except #9 Glow Hot Perch took them all this evening. Had that same friend fishing near me tonight. I about blew his mind when I landed the first fish about two minutes after I first dropped the line in the water! He ended up with 2 dinks and an eater.
