We got it bad here last night. The wind was just howling. I took a quick video and picture. Here's the video: And, our table in the backyard: Joey

Yep, looks like you took a whoopin there Roy. Is that a Roy's eye view of your backyard Joey

Great report. I love the Niagara reports. I can imagine that hill was a biach to get up, but yes 4x4 is a good thing. That one fish is so purple, its unbelievable. Thanks and great pics. Joey

Yes, it is. It's TJ at Lakair last year heading back to his cabin Joey

That's just great that you would do that Steve, and you were rewarded for your efforts. Nice fish and that little anteater is such a cutie. Joey

Thanks for all the super replies everyone. I used Shelley's "secret" whitefish recipe last night and it was delicious. Thanks Shelley. Looking outside today makes me glad I'm not out there in this mess. Hope everyone is safe and sound at home. There's always next weekend right Joey

Awww, what a sweetie, just like his new owner I know he's got a good home, lucky dog. Joey

Ohhhhhh, I sympathize with the treble to the finger, that smarts. Don't eat red snow That's a very respectable pike there, very nice Joey

Those are nice pictures G. Nice fish too. Thanks for the adventure. Joey

Great Scott!!!!! What beauty fish. Very nice day out there for you. I'm impressed. Joey

Maybe it was a good thing he didn't bless your honey hole, seems he was having a hard time catching anything. Might have jinxed it

Now that is a spectacular report Shelley. There must have been something in the air out there yesterday eh!!! Strange things happening and now that I find out were were not far from each other, sheesh. You giving Italo your honey hole is classic. Way to go girl!!!! Joey

Fantastic!!!! I'm so glad you guys got into some. Great report. Joey

With the ice fishing season coming to a rapid end and knowing Paul is on call this weekend, we both asked and got the day off today to go fishing for whities and lakers. Neither of us had caught a whitie before, but after taking notes from Chuck and Shelley recently, we were very hopeful. We were on the lake by 8 a.m. and I made note of the solunar tables in the Thursday paper. AM major was to start at 9:45. At 9:50 I had a fish on. It was a great battle too, this fish peeled line, a few times. I did manage to get her to the hole tho. We did not have a gaf but paul braved the water and stuck his hand down and grabbed it by the gill, even though the hook was right at the side of the lip and he could have easily gotten hooked himself. So here she is, my first ever white :thumbsup: Paul had at least 15 fish on....... and then off all day. He was getting very discouraged. I was in my hut staying warm when he had yelled fish on and actually had it on for quite some time. I went over to inspect and he had it right at the hole, then the hook got stuck in the ice and it was fish off. It was quite sad really I went back to my hut and decided to change lures. After I tied on I was letting the lure go down to the bottom and was almost there and I notice this whitie slowly swimming by at the bottom of my hole. Damned suspended fish, it was obscuring my view I flipped out, whipped up my sleeve and by instinct grabbed it by the tail. It was slippery and tried to give me the slip and at one point I only had the thinest part of the tail in between my finger and thumb, but pulled back quickly, grabbed it by the tail and hoisted her out. I was flabbergasted. I had bare handed caught a whitie in 80 FOW I yelled out, "Hey Paul, I think I just caught your lost fish, by hand." Paul could only chuckle about it for the rest of the afternoon and said only I could pull something like that off. Unfortunately, my whole arm was now soaked and my hat also fell into the water in my unbridled enthusiasm. No sweat, just cranked up the Mr. Heater and draped my sweatshirt sleeve over the chair and let it dry. Paul ended up finally getting his first whitie also a short time later and we were really glad we decided to take the day off and go fishing. At around 3 p.m. I informed him we had to go as I was to be at my mom's for dinner tonight and he says "Oh, just one more fish." And then went oh well and started reeling in fast to get packed up. Well, halfway up the hole his rod bends over and its fish on. We assumed it was a laker and we were right. Now only Paul could pull that off Here are Paul's two fish for the day. My other whitie Our "took the day off" catches of the day. Cheers, Joey

Way to go Chris. I'm at 15 years now. On my 10th they gave me a GPS for the boat, I thought that was pretty cool. Joey

Thanks Gerritt, Love NIN!!! Joey

A Batfish (bass+catfish)

Wow, that did go by rather fast. I'm very impressed. My problem is I don't want to quit right now. Unfortunately, I enjoy it too much. I guess my day will come when I've had enough and then I'll try cold turkey first, see if I can quit - Again!! Congrats bud, that's fantastic. Joey

Now that's what I call a snow day. Way to go Cliff Joey

Well, you could just add at few letters and go by the name of the NOFX song "Don't call me White" Joey

Will do Mike, thanks for the info. My thoughts are with you and Chris at this time Rob. I will be hoping for the best. Because I do Believe!!! Joey

Saw that on the news last night. I'm pretty sure I'd have needed a new pair of panties after that if I was on the flight Joey

Now that's funny Terry!!
