    That is all good… all conversation is welcomed. I dream of the day I get on a bite that is so good limiting early is a concern. If that was the case, coming all the way here for the experience, I can play catch and release for a long time before getting tired of a special time. Not culling,releasing healthy fish prior to hitting a limit. Too much respect to do it any other way.

    Having the pan fishing back up plan for weather… or whatever is huge for me… TY again.

    More questions to follow for sure - for now, still reading every post on here, so keep it up all.

    Just a suggestion here but I always put the first 4 nice fish in the cooler and then funfish for awhile before I head in. The reason is that yes I go to catch fish to eat and want to get enough so I can have a few meals the following winter so I box the first 4 nice fish. The jig bite can be fickle and they can shut down so fast that it is almost unbelievable that you cannot buy another hookup, it is like someone turned the stop biting switch on and they are done. From almost as fast as you can catch them to nothing in as little as 15 minutes. So be aware.

    I don't cull either if I am going to keep it, it goes in the live well with it's throat cut to bleed out then on the ice. If not keeping it it goes from net to lake as fast as possible!
