    Winter Fishing in Western PA

    Hey folks, just thought I'd share some pix from our first ice catch last Friday here in Western PA.
    This is how we roll from December to April...

    That’s awesome, do you guys just drill a hole over a brush pile. On the eastern side of the state 99% of the fish pulled from the ice are yellow perch, blue gills and crappie. Don’t hear of to many bass being caught.

    LOL... yep ON the water and hopefully not through, taking the ole' "polar plunge", which does happen in this game.

    We will target crappie and gills once the LM bite shuts down...
