February Update

The ice conditions are EXCELLENT....12 to 20 inches of ice everywhere....the is currently 6 to 10 inches of snow on top...but that will settle. The Pike fishing lately has been very good. Once the winds laid down...the flags have been many:) The Bullgills still seem to be roaming the deep water....the Champlain boys are hammering the Crappies after dark....rumors have it there is a Smelt bite again finally on Bomo...I plan to check that out this week some evening. Fried Smelt for the Daytona 500 would be awesome... For some of you who harvest Pike, below are two helpful pixs to help you with removing "Y" bones along the lateral line. Personally, I pickle Pike and the brine dissolves them.
