Ice Fishing In Lexington

[DJD]

Was this at lake Ellerslie? How far out could you go on the ice?

We went out over 100ft in some areas and even walked across the first cove at the pipeline. The Ice is THICK. You could walk across the lake if you wanted. The lake has an open area around the aerators.

Im jealous! I called my old man up in Central IL and he went out yesterday and caught about 2 dozen bluegill with some of his buddies on waxies...made me mighty homesick but then i remembered its going to warm up this week!!

When I went ice fishing in Indiana, I used maggots attached to a tiny jig about a foot off the bottom. Caught some really nice Bluegills and crappie, sometimes some guys would catch a nice Bass this way...Really awesome catching fish on two pound test line thru the ice..... Even took a Keroscene heater out on the ice with us...If you got the clothes and boots to keep you warm, you can fish for hours...Weird thing was, when you caught a fish and unhooked it, threw it on top of the ice, it would freeze solid, then when you got home to thaw them out to clean, they would come back to life...Totally weird...... and awesome as well.....

I have never heard that before? They were dead and came back alive once they thawed?
