The fishing Queen strikes gold Big brute Congrats Juli on your PB

Great job Chad You slayed them pretty good this time Congrats on that big brute She's a purdy one

Thanks Drew!!! Been out every weekend for trout thus far... the part I like most in this video is when the rainbow makes a U turn at the top of the hole and goes back down for another run

Vince, here's one that I was trying to setup for the camera and it slip my grip when the flash went on That was take one

DOH ...and another at 2:42 Ah well, what can you do eh Thanks Lunker!!! It sure was cold and fun

Was a cold one today to say the least with -14C and a North Westerly, blowing at 15km/h and that's at home, not up where we were Up there, a couple of hours driving, -24C was what it felt out in the open Paul was able to drive onto the ice and get to our spot Ice was a good 16" thick Got setup and went to work Missed a few right off the bat but Paul got into a nice one and got the fight on video Had to edit it, and here's the results... enjoy! <embed width="600" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullscreen="true" allowNetworking="all" wmode="transparent" src="http://static.photobucket.com/player.swf" flashvars="file=http%3A%2F%2Fvid732.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fww321%2Fleechman1%2FIce%2520Fishing%25202012%2FFeb112012-PaulsBruser-RainbowHunt.mp4">

I can't believe this happen, I'm in shock My sincerest condolences to Tony's family and friends.

Not long... overnight in the freezer and your good to go

Sorry for the pics being removed... got Photobucket warnings about reaching bandwith quota and to go pro The hits weren't even from this site never going to pay to host my pics anywhere on the web Keep us posted of your results!!! Been doing my version for the longuest time too and works for me Not in Québec The reason I use wax paper... minnows don't stick to it

Great job Chad getting that monkey off your back I know the feeling all too well Some good eats in that sink shot

You're lucky I've made lots and they are ready to go Paul read your PM's

That last pic looks awfully familiar Was this creature caught from the abyss?? I don't know man... is it even legal to catch kidding Great report Kev Keep'em coming dude Next on the menu is walleye and rainbows

Cliff, I've used it a couple of times when my wife and daughter had gone to Sasketchewan for the YBC National and really like it Draw back, video didn't work cause of Internet speed... I have high speed at home and the hotel they were staying had very slow speed but I was glad to be able to communicate with them in real time for free Beats texting any day

Welcome to OFC Samantha Glad you joined Vinni... Nice pic I have a similar pic on my computer Your a funny guy Mike but I like it

Nice

Good plan Bruce!!! Funny my Mrs don't like fish either Sounds delish

Man.... as the season progress, ice is getting thicker but the specks are getting smaller Plan today was to go solo to a local lake and try to entice some after being skunked last trip I succeeded in getting 3 for the pan and that was it Hard bite to say the least Had a window of opportunity and made the best of it Driving for 3h and fishing for 3h The details.... temp when I got up (5h15am) was -14C with a slight wind from the NO @ 10Km/h... Perfect A couple of stops for gas and hot beverage and the way I go. Departure time & temp As I'm making my way up, temp was getting colder upon arriving, a quick check on the thermometer and reading was -18C Proceeded to get setup, got the gear out of the car, looked at the snow bank on the side of the road next to the car and again had to brake trail to get on thank god I brought a shovel this time to make the job easier Once on ice, punched my first hole, ice was a good 12" thick with a blanket of fresh snow on top but under... slush Quickly setup a dead stick and dew worm... was about to proceed to the second hole when I noticed the dead stick quick strike go off Iced my first minnow size trout Not badly hooked, back down it goes... put another worm on and punched my second hole... again dead stick goes off... iced my second minnow size trout back down it goes Got a third and this is when I switched to salties Dead stick tipped with salties had the upper hand... iced 3 for the pan, all had the minnow down deep but biting very lightly, one, I even pulled it onto the ice without setting the hook Here's my guests for the pan Closer shot of the salty sticking out All in all was a great time out on the hard stuff!!! Hope you enjoy Tight lines Leechman

Nice setup Ron (hope I got your name right ) I can't say I would eat one of those if I hand fed them wife and daughter definitely wouldn't I bet they are a lot of work keeping the cages cleaned. Thanks for sharing Leechman

Vince, it was my pleasure and your welcome!!! Glad you guys enjoyed your stay I would of preferred to hook into a few but that's out of my control Wish I knew where that on switch was It's not like we didn't try eh.... and that storm that rolled in Still was super nice to meet you and get to know you more in person Thanks for coming up and share a day on the ice with us That was awesome Guess what kind of weather we are having this week again???
