ice fishing before and after the snow

[Chrisper4694]

Hit up some salmon a few days before the snow, with the njf crew, nabbing some decent sized silver bullets on homemade jaw jackers... jigging was slow, to say the least.

after the snowpocalypse some places were just so sloppy, it was annoying to walk around far.... some places got partially ruined. we hit up our early season first ice spots that were not as sloppy and partially hardened snow on top of 7" of black ice. unfortunately we were welcomed with a slimedart festival and no big ones. we waited it out til the crappie came through at dusk and intercepted them a bit and even had a saucer sized bluegill join the party.

I used squatch's headlight to charge my glow jig right before nabbing another skillful angler gill.... just thought i'd throw that in there
