Are you going to be north or south of Tampa? I fish Honeymoon Island State Park anytime I'm down visiting my parents... All kinds of fish..

Andrew, where you think of hitting tomorrow? I'll be out solo tomorrow am as well. Drop me a PM or give me shout.. I think you have my phone #... -Bill

Doug, PM sent.

Thanks Jacques! I haven't ice fished in at least 15 years.. I actually enjoyed myself quite a bit out there..

Sounds like a plan.

Nice job Steve!

Dave and I hit the known spots for whities and made out pretty good. First spot was a bit slow, but I nailed one right off the bat.. After the move it was on.. I can't count the number of fish we missed, but it was quite a few... I landed a real nice 6-7lb'r but we had our limit so it was going to be released. I tried to stick the head in the hole while Dave grabbed the camera, but she shot out of my hands! Nice shoulders on her...

Nice whities!!!

I did good with silver and also half/half earlier this week. Iced 4, lost a crapload, biggest was about 6-7lbs or so.

Drew, you gotta leave those old dudes at the Catt alone :)

Follow the pack.

Nice job Doug!

I've been in my fair share of altercations but there is a few unwritten rules that I go by.. Never kick someone when they are down, never go for the eyes/throat/jewels with intent to injure (I'm not talking about punching someone in the face, I'm referring to eye gouging, and other gutless moves). If the guy has stopped fighting back, that's it... it's over.. I'm not going to beat the living crap out of someone to prove a point. I have rarely ever been the instigator, but because I grew up a bit faster then most of my friends I was the 'enforcer' in our group... You know the guy who sticks up for his drunken, idiot buddies? lol

It will be cake compared to what we did last spring

Good to hear! Funny how it only takes one pissed off cashier to ruin someones shopping experience.. I wonder how much those people actually cost the company due to lost revenue? Would be interesting to find out.

/crosses fingers I really really really really wanna do that trip.

I had to bring a french press when we portaged into Algonquin Not that I can complain to much, that first coffee in the morning was awesome. Mike, don't forget one for the trip in June! lol

Has anyone approached the landowner and asked permission to fish on his property? What about talking to the LPCA to get a definite answer on the property rights? I did this on a very popular river and now have access to some GREAT fishing spots without worrying about if I'm trespassing or not...

Red X's? I'm not to sure.

That pike pic is totally believable.. I snapped a few similar pics when a 3lb walleye I brought up had a brute of a pike attached to it, lol

Special bait = 2lb Brook trout

For you guys that love flyfishing, check out Catch magazine.. It's an online magazine and completely free. The pics they take are unbelievable.

I run dino in the truck and a Group IV PAO full syn in the TDI. Great additive package and soot handling abilities.

Yup... Even though it doesn't look like there is a lot of current, there is. I wouldn't step foot out on that ice...

I just picked up a floater suit man, let me know when you plan on heading out.. I haven't icefished in years!
