20151213- as i looked on Google Earth something bugged me...

concerning with an area within casting distance from shore that needed to be searched with a slip bobber and bait... a short walk later and several casts later revealed an abscence of the gill. its been a tough time shorefishing from this area... this spot has produced historically through the years. yet very little gillage this open water season. i probed the weediest area of this location... nothing. i was counting on the fall crappie bite from this location also and it failed to produce. that's what makes fishing the great sport it is .... the probability/improbability factor no matter how well you think you have em figured out there's always that chance your not going to score... sure your chances are better from a tube , kayak or the boat with electronics. today the game was played on a more level playing field a time of lake and winter transition ... one on one with the fish and its environment. and I got blanked. sure it was a half hour forty five minutes tops.... in that time I felt confident I could produce a fish... it didn't happen today.

20151220- thought we could sneek a boat outing in today by breaking through skim ice

after last nites lows of 17 degs... this lake however proved that 3/4 inches was a tough way to go. its teaser ice ... it will be gone by tomorrow or tuesday at the latest. if it was just 1/4 or or so we would of broke thru and fished a deep basin vertical jigging but that didnt happen.

1220151405a - Nestor Lake 3/4" of teaser ice

hey... we tried!

20151221- ...------<")))))><(

the last fishing outing of 2015 due to weather and lake transition to hard water. the panfish on micro UL spinning gear with 2-4# test superlines continues tagging the preds... Panfish and Preds on the same tackle pattern put me over the top of last years season!
