Dry snow on top but once the holes were cut, it was slip and slide!

3lb walleye have up a good fight and threw me off balance at the hole. Slipped and had to roll to finish the landing. I was more wet than the fish.

why would you cut the line on a northern pike ? they are a very tastey fish ,as long as they are caught in water under fifty degrees. I landed one on my favorite teardrop with a shiner on it 4lb test line almost lost my favorite rod. it was sitting in a rod holder on a bucket . I was drilling a hole  when i saw my rod bend,I went running , got there just in time. It sure was good, grilled in foil with a nice mustard sauce. yum yum

We cut the lines to let the shorties swim. Sometimes, the big ones cut their own lines.

Buddy of mine had pretty good luck too this weekend. 3 eyes and a host of panfish.

 

Shawn. spend the 15 bucks and buy a set of the ice cleats that go on the bottom of your boots. worth every penny.

Very easy to fillet out. And worth the extra seconds

[vizslas]

Northern pike.You end up with five fillets no bones.I like the 30" class besides i wont land anything bigger on four pound line. St.Croix or not.My ice rod is set for 12" Perch ,not toothy northerns.
