Constance Lake - Jan 16
Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2011 10:13 am
Made it out to Constance Lake this past Sunday with the girlfriend. I figured after I was out-Perched on Meech Lake the day before by my GF and her father 12-0 that I had to redeem myself and we live pretty close to Constance!
It was cold but we braved it. It was my first time there so didn't know what to expect. Used the left over frozen minnows the father-in-law picked up at Bits & Baits the day before and we were set to rock!
Ice was very thick, at least 1.5 feet thick. Lots of permanent shacks and large trucks on the ice so I wasen't worried about driving the Sante Fe out there. We just picked a spot right out in the middle of the lake where there were no other shacks around. Not too far from the launch.
Fished for about 3 hours and I caught 3 small pike (largest about 3 lbs) and 5 perch. The GF had lots of nibbles but her lucky jig head that was nailing them on Meech the day before only brought 2 perch up the hole. Not a bad afternoon overall and lots of fun.
Also heard there are Crappie and Walleye in there ....? Will have to go back another day to try for them.
Hoping to hit The Larry on Saturday for some larger Gators! But we'll see how the ice conditions are
