My wife don't mind my short trips fishing, but she gets a little upset with my longer day trips, so it's a lot easier for me to drive 5 minutes and fish for an hour or two and then get back to my home chores and she doesn't seem to mind...
So not sure if it's dedication or my best chance to get out... But the first three attempts without catching any fish, was hard to go back the forth time, but then I started picking up a fish every other trip, so I kept trying until today paid off with the one I had been hoping for... Still can't get a carp or anything else to bite... don't know what I need to do to get them on the line..
That's really interesting on your Newton findings, I guess my timing has just been off when I've been over there. That's where I found the crappie in past years, but haven't crossed their path on my ice trips this year... I figured they must have went into the back bays or something, since I hadn't seen anything lately... Crappie are all about timing and being in the right spot at the right time... Thanks for sharing that info... Jeff
