Feast

 Feast

       There was a break in the weather, and we headed off to NW Montana to do a little crawdadding and fishing.  We stayed the night so we could have two days of feasting on crawdads.  We didn't catch our limit of 60 crawdads the first night, but Tom caught a mackinaw to make up for up.  We brought our neighbor, Tom to help with catch.  

     The next day, unfortunately, someone stole one of our traps, but we managed to get our limit for another feast.

Break

 Break

     We finally have a break in the weather and drove to NW Montana for mackinaw.  The water temperature was 64 degrees.   A little too warm for the fish to bite.  We did, manage, to catch two fish.  One was a decant size and the other was a smaller fish.  It was a beautiful morning to be out on the water.

Burbot

 Burbot

    Tried for burbot in one of our local lakes.  We managed to catch 7 by the time we left.  There was 2.5" of clear ice and half an inch of white ice.  With all the snow on top of the ice, it was a little sloppy.

     We stayed in one of the local hotels and went out to catch a few more pike.  I caught one on my jigging pole and Tom caught one on a tip-up.  By the time we left the fishing hole, we looked like snow people from the snowstorm.

Pike

     We made the trip to north-west Montana, to do a little pike fishing.  It was a pleasant day to be on the ice.  Tom caught two pike on his jigging pole.
