January 13th was our first Waukesha West Fishing Club trip out onto the ice. We headed down to the kettle on Nagawicka for some northern pike action.
I tried to convince the kids that we should move the trip to a different day because when we woke up it was -1 degrees with an -18 wind chill. They convinced me to go and I am glad we did. Action wasn't super fast, but it was enough to keep us interested. We landed somewhere around 8 pike and had a lot of drops. Strangely, it didn't seem as cold as it was and we had a great time. I look forward to our next excursion.
The pike were caught on Beaver Dam tipups with 40lb fluorocarbon leaders and a large shiner. We were fishing from 3-10 feet of water.
