Golden Shiners

A dozen tipups between 2 anglers and not one flag on any of them sporting silver sided bait fish.  Two tipups provided all the action which had golden shiners previously jigged up using a small hook a pieces of bread.
Not much of a blog post, but between building plugs, fishing, and work I just haven't had the time.  Anyways, think warm thoughts and maybe if we all do Spring & warmer temperatures will actually come our way here in the Northeast.

40" beaut... 17lbs, yes I removed background!!!
Sorry to any spot seekers.

Have a Crappie Christmas

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, I haven't been on the ice since Sunday but I'm hoping the colder nights in the forecast will provide some safe ice for the weekend.  The crappie (calico bass) and smallmouth bass bite was very good this past weekend, including this 15" slab that took a 4 inch shiner under a tip-up.
