Grand River Eyes

[Double D]

Out on the river yesterday with a friend of mine. We went 26 for 32. Biggest fish 10lbs released for another day. We both had our limit by 11 am of nice size fish. Average yesterday was about 3lbs with lots of 4 s and 5 s mixed in. Best day we have ever had fishing eyes through the ice. Amazing! We ran out of minnows by 2pm. Game over.

Sounds like you had a great day.
If they were biting that good I'm sure jigs would have also produced.
Always helps to keep options open.

By the time we ran out of minnows my arms were sore anyway. Wind was so strong if you got off your seat in the flip over hut. It would take off. Next time taking my ice anchor. Lol. Will post pics tomorrow.

2nd fishmasters! Lots of parking and seem to have bait whenever I go and always have good service!

 

[SonsOfPerchin]

Awesome thanks John W. Might try on weekend if ice holds up

I hope the pictures attached work. These were from Saturday Feb 2nd. I attached a picture of the scent I used. I believe this helped with our success. Funny name though and no I don't share a hut Lol! I wear a size 13 Sorel. Fish were very good size. Tried to keep the smaller ones for table fair. My buddy put a beer can by his in the bag to estimate size. Hope we can get out again before the ice takes off.

Awesome catch but ya not the best name for a attractant lol

 

[JohnW]

Hopefully the ice will be safe this coming weekend, with these warm temps and all the runoff I'm sure the river will be flowing quite fast making the ice conditions unpredictable.

River waters up high now and ice starting to fail. Watch Fishmasters Facebook page for updates on ice conditions before you go down there. Darn weather. Its worse than the summer wind at Burwell. Stay safe guys.
