pikeie

well i decided that i would take my bro, down to a secret creek today and see if the suckers were in yet. when we got there, there wasnt any fish to be seen but i tossed out a worm anyways and caught a few chubs lol ahaha, the next drift i was about to bring the worm in to start another drift and my line started peeling off the reel had a good fight for about 2 minutes then the net was under her, i say her because she was sprayin eggs in the net, got pic but,now my phone camera wont send it to my pc. anyways heres one of the release anyways. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1176940095 this fish measured 24 inches my brother lost one then he got his first http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1176940129 this one was 22 inches took lots more pics but like i said my phone wont upload them i went 4/6 and my bro went 1/5 lots of fun, and those bigger suckers sure can pull some line on those light action rods. for anyone that says those fish dont fight, they sure did in the current

well i gone and done it now...... ive bought my fist steelhead rod! it is a raven 11'6" steelheader, i bought it off of Mr. JR today. thanks agian john http://picturemessaging.rogers.com/mmps/RE...dJJ78a5c5iL08to let me tell you this rod is so nice, it is very sensitive and has got a nice soft action. so when i first got it i thought i would take it down to a local little creek just for a few drifts and to see if i could get any suckers. had a few hits all from creekchubs i ws guessing then i caught this lol http://picturemessaging.rogers.com/mmps/RE...wJp78aHB5pULkQQ small chub lol my first fish on this rod! also had a sucker on about 2 lbs but lost it at shore. cant wait to learn how to catch some stealies

u got a pm bud

yea the warm rain should bring them in for sure. but ive still got LOTS left in my frezzer from this winter out on simcoe

well as you can see its tinbangers B-day today , hope u have a good one dad.

lol i was just going to post somthing similar. there is a creek by my house that has the suckes running up it in huge numbers but whatever i do i cant hook one, all i get are the creek chubs (great dead bait for witer pike) ive tried bottom fishing, ive tried float fishing. ive used worms, and corn. any idea what im doing wrong??

we were out today for a bit and there is still 10" plus of ice, i dont recomend anyone going out though lots of soft spots now. infact today was our last trip out for pike.

i use the strike king 3x zeros, the last a lot longer for me and cost the same price. i use the 5 inch in green pumpkin candy fleck (gold and purple) , watermellon black fleck. here is a nice smallie i got on one last year one the bass opener weekend http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1174692647

yea lexx speaking of that i was out with a couple of first ice fishing newbies lol. at the end of the day on of them was using my little panfish popper rod he was wondering why it was taking so long to get to bottom. i told him to shut his bail maybe theres a fish on just swimming with it. right when he closed his bail the rod doubled over and almost broke lol. so with ths rod it obvisly wasnt ment for fish like this and it couldnt real it in. so i grabed the line (2 lbs test) and hand lined it, it was like pulling up a log with a few small headshakes. we got it to the hole and it just felt like it was wedged at the bottom of the ice, so while we were trying to get it head up, i took my arm out of my floater suit and was ready to try and grab "it". while i was doing this the fish decided to make one last pull and snaped the line. it was a preety big disapontment but the kid now wants to go back and try to get the fish lol.

well today i was out on simcoe in kempenfelt bay to day. i was fishing for perch and the fish were scatterd around pretty good, i was fishing 40 FOW. so with the fish scatterd i droped down a williams jiggin spoon to try and attract some perch in to my other rig. well allmost instantly i got a few perch, then i got i better hit pulled it up and it was a herring, then droped it back down, my spoon was out of my flashers cone when it got hit hard. set the hook and the fish pulled some fair ammount of line and bent my mediam heavey rod way more then any herring, i got it on the ice and the fish was around 2 feet long and the mouth was just had a BIT more of an angle to it. so i was wondering first off if herring can get that long and from the poor discription i just gave you lol what do u think it was?? the fish was realeased because i wasnt 100% sure it was a whitie. and on another note, while i was out we saw so people catching many herring in the 15-18 inch range and keeping them!! so i gave the mnr tips line a call and i gave a discription of the men. they asked for my cell # incase any CO's were in the area. almost 5 minutes later i got a call form a CO . so he came on down, but by the time they got there the men had taken off. they serched the parking lot (i couldnt get a plate #) but couldnt find anyone. so they went around the ice and got a few people with no liecence and such. it was sure good to see that that mnr line acctully works and that they had a CO in the area

with mine i use size 8 to size 6 hooks, and the weight depends on the depth, but normaly anywhere bettween 1/4 to 1/2 ounce

lol beans hahaha

oops look like i posted before i got the post done lol haha, fixed now haha

WOW! what a great day to be on the ice. the fishing was not fast and furious but we still maneged some fairly nice size perch. i won 3rd place with a 9 inch perch lol haha. so we got up at 5:30 and tinbanger went out to grab the coffee for the day. so when he got back got the van loaded up very fast lol couldn't wait to get on the ice lol, i was hearing latly that the perch have been biting very good there latly so i was excited because ive had enough of the 6 inch perch that simcoe has been invaded by this year lol. we got to the site and imediatly talked to lexxington. got to the ramp and got all set up talked to Moe and mr. JR, and out on the lake we went. got to one spot found 45 feet of water, got the hut set up and got the rods down, almost instantly i got bit and pulled up a dink perch lol, went on with that for almost an hour, then the action slowed down.
