We had a great Ice Fishing season catching fish jigging for panfish on St. Croix and Berkley Lightning Rods outfitted with Cardinal Reels while waiting for our Frabill Tip-ups to fly the flags high. We had a good mix of Blue-Gill, Crappie and Perch caught fishing Delavan, Geneva and the Lauderdale Lake Chain. We had the opportunity to fish other lakes such as Wind, Tichigan, Silver, Browns, Little Muskego Lakes among others. The Lake Trout season was eventful with many fish in the 30-33" class caught using St. Croix Rods outfitted with Cardinal Reels fishing Geneva Lake as soon as the ice was safe. We had the opportunity to fish using the Automatic Fisherman Tip-up in my arsenal this year fishing for Northern Pike, Walleye, Trout and Salmon. The Automatic Fisherman Tip-up is a great tool for any fisherman with an innovative design setting the hook on fish, which with Trout and Salmon is key. We filmed an Outdoor Wisconsin Television Show featuring the Automatic Fisherman on President's Day this past winter which turned out to be a challenging day with 30-40 mph. winds and sleet and rain pelting us in the face. Look for the show on Public Television in 2012! My Otter Outdoor Ice Shelters kept us warm and cozy fishing in the elements using our Vexilar FL 18 and Fl 20 flashers to put fish on the ice. The weather made for challenging conditions with the major lenghty cold snaps we experienced, but all in all I had a great season fishing getting to know my clients and now friends. I had the chance to take out many of my long-term clients sharing memories and stories making new ones on the ice. Thank you to all of my sponsors and thank you to all of you that I have had the pleasure to fish with in the past year, years before. I look forward to a great open water season which has already begun! Thanks for taking time to visit my blog and feel free to drop me a line.
