I made it out on the river last night for the evening bit around 3:45 with my buddy. We only had 4 tipups (I forgot mine; he usually brings 10) and our jigging rods with a bunch of frozen minnows. We set-up our tipups and drilled about 10 holes for jigging. I was using a 1/4oz. buckshot tipped with a minnow head/tail and my buddy was using a 1/8oz buckshot tipped with the same. We managed 11 fish in all with 9 eyes/saugers and 2 perch. 6 of the eyes were caught while jigging.
I saw this nice 14" follow my buckshot and like Dave Mercer would say "He just did what he's supposed to do. He just ate it".
And a couple of minutes later I landed this one in the same hole!
We kept 8 for the table. 5 were all the same size and the 3 others we an inch or two shorter.
Happy Fishing Guys!
Derek
