Man had to go back. Me ,Dan, Bro and Shoe went to eastern Barr for crappies. got plenty of those but they were tight lipped and brutally light bite. Gave me a headache focusing! ;D

So went a little deeper to find some toothy beasts and it worked out Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning caught eyes, cats, wipers, whites(lots of White bass fun but kinda a PITA) ;D

I caught everything but the walleyes on my crappy rod using 4 lb floro and a tiny teardrop.

All the large fish went back.

Lost some pig walleyes and such they either popped off or got me into the trees a couple times.

Gotta love it when you set the hook and the rod doesn't move as if its snagged on the bottom!

10.89lbs on 4lb floro.

6.89lbs on a blade.

5lbs on a blade

6.5lbs on a blade

Some Eater Eyes!

Saw one of these on the ice!

Not to shabby for an old pfart! What in da ol' fogey is that critter with the wheels?

Its a "motorized ice hut". I think its a "Wilcraft"

Wow awesome.

When you die of old age FISH WILL BE 😊

 

[slayerfish]

UHHH? Thank you??

Tearing it up! I always thought icing walleyes was challenging must be me!

 

[ColoGregS]

Great trip!

Those walleyes are fat--obviously well fed. How thick was the ice? I am going to Tarryall tomorrow for a big pike.

PS: I thought Colorado did not allow people to drive on the ice, are there execptions to that rule?

Looked up Wilcraft on line. Sticker starts at $19k. In Wisconsin I fished with a couple buddies that used Argos on the ice. They float if you break through, at about half the price of the Wilcraft.

That's a good variety of fish you have there, especially like the fat walleyes. I'll bet your freezer is just about full !

I gave the walleyes away-

Nice! Great fish. I bet that wilcraft gave those guys some comfort. Hard to justify though when there's only ice 2 months out of the year. They must take it north.

I wondered what crazy dude made those tire tracks on the lake. After the conditions I saw last weekend Im not that crazy!!

 

[slayerfish]

Hahah. Unmistakeable tracks!

How do you keep the blade baits from fouling up? I can get the fish in with them but they tangle within minutes.... Damn frustrating. Is is because I bought the cheap BPS versions?

The XPS BLADES. ARE THE ONES I WAS USING. The single best way to keep from "Snarbulating". is to use a 1-2 ft. heavy floro leader like 12-20 lbs. Also don't get "spastic" when snapping the blade off the bottom. Its more of a quick lift motion . Thinfishers work fine and don't snarbulate as much.

That's a brilliant idea, thanks. Did I really just call you brilliant???
