NJ ice season = multispecies mayhem!

[Chrisper4694]

it looked like we could've gotten on NJ ice one more time this weekend, but opting to head upstate again to close out the season.

It was a pretty good season. got on first ice in early january and fished nj ice til just the other week... my only complaint was that bad down pouring rain we got screwing us over on some of the better spots, but we iced plenty of nice fish despite that!

we did a lot of panfish jigging catching plenty of jumbo perch and some decent bluegills. I hunted at night many times for the bigger crappie but my biggest one ended up coming on an over cast day right as we started getting hit with a snow storm (made for an awesome picture!)... it ate my jig that i left unattended in the water and one of my tip up shiners at the same time haha. 16" my best through the ice and second best ever all water.

I was also able to pull my first NJ walleye through the ice which is inexplicably difficult on nj's frozen lakes haha

I did a little salmon fishing too and nailed 2 large nj pike as well as some nice bass of both types. we really took advantage of the nj ice multi-species variety!

enjoy the NJ fish porn and feel free to tag on your ice season escapades to the tread!
