O.K. folks, we had a great time on Shepard's lake!! when we got there the wind was calm and the lake was shrouded in fog, pretty neat.

We set up near the swim beah and boat house, we got our tip-ups all set up, and shortly after had our first flag! I think on Cleancut's tip up, but he missed it.

We had sevral flags and missed many of them.
Jkotys (think I have that right)Left to drop a skull at Ringwoodboy's to be cleaned up so I kept an eye on his gear for him till he got back.

That's when the first fish came up!![rofl]
A smallish pickerel! after that it was a slow pic of missed flags and caught fish.

Near the end of the day Dognut had a flag and set up on a nice fish! as he faught it up to the hole Cleancut made a great shot with the gaff and out came a 26" pickerel!! all told we caught 6 pickerel.

we stayed out till about 4:30. the food and company was great! we need to do this again![up] hear are some pix.

That's one fat momma pickerel[up] Looks like shes ready to lay some eggs.

It really was a nice day out, wish I could have stayed past 1pm but had to get home to the kids. Yeah, Paul I wont be posting the pickerel off my tip up, or i know I would of gotten an earful for not catching it[hihi]. That last one I brought up to the hole and had the line snap would of been a bit better. Even gave it a best effort hand in the water trying to grab it before she swam off.

I don't what it is about being outdoors, but food tastes so much better. Hot dogs wrapped in bacon grilled on toasted pita bread and a tomato lettuce mayo salad spread was awesome, not to mention tender deer steaks with sauteed onions on roll, horse radish sauce and venison kielbasa.

Slow morning but glad you guys caught some more after I left. Actually when I was driving away I could see you all running to another tip up [up]

Great day out!!!

Yup, Cleancut kept them. They were all female and all but the big one were stuffed full of shiners and herring! All had roe.
