I have been known to pop a top and take that medium diving perch rapala off and singing between sips, send in the clowns. I have actually stripped down to my underpants to retrieve a clown rapala husky jerk in a half hour fishing contest with my rival on the Mississippi near Monticello Mn. Yes I won with the biggest and most bass.
There's nothing at all wrong with how you choose to fish, or what you fish with. As long as it's legal and you're enjoying yourself, that's what counts.
Been raining all morning. Decided to try making a clown colored 1/8 jig at the suggestion of Sota. I'll try it pretty soon. I see a smallmouth trip in my future. Never caught winter smallies.
Floating jig heads with sucker minnows in the Mississippi about 2 -3 miles down from the nuke plant discharge. on a good day you would catch a half dozen smallies but they were all slobs.
I just want to say I hate what ice fishing has become, stare at the depth finder, stare at the camera. I am putting bobbers on my ice rods this year using the old clip on depth finder to set my depth and relax and enjoy.
