Title: 2/21/15
Post by: handymanjeff on February 21, 2015, 05:44:31 PM
Fished Nettle today from 8:30am to 1:00pm. Got there before the snow started. Fished in 19 FOW. Water stained but the crappie were biting until about 10:30 after it started snowing. Fish were suspended at 9' to 11', aggressive jigging and playing keep away triggered the bites. Black 5mm tungsten jig with 3 spikes. Nothing on dead stick with minnows. Kept 9 from 10 to 11-1/2", lost 4 at the hole. One really large one 1/2 up the hole. 5 throw backs, no whisker fish or gills. Glad I brought the gas auger as ice was 14" thick, should've just drove my truck out. Very little snow on ice when I got there and maybe an inch when I left. :)
