Nope Skrillex... Remember

Hey Chad... do you really want to know what I'm listening now?

Sorry manitou but I don't tie any harnesses or spinners but make my own leaders for ice fishing and use a uni knot for snelling hooks... very easy and strong Just thought I add this to your thread Here an exemple: Uni Knot for Snelling

You bet Paul... will bring it out again if the bows come out to play

Nice spud bud Kidding Nick... glad it worked out nicely for you! Good work

Less is better for sure Ron just the way I like'em too Especially trout

Perch fillets sounds real good 12footspringbok... you willing to drive half way? Need to expire the remaining trout to go hunt again

Well Chad, what you waiting for? go get'em

Thanks Simon!!! and no kidding Lots of snow over here so far... not good for making good ice but what can you do Just got to go out there and enjoy Ice was about a foot thick and lots of slush under that layer of snow as you can see on the pics... a couple hours into fishing and slush turned into a slippery path making walking or running a challenge So far so good and really enjoying my season Thanks again my friend!!!

I hear you Bill... It was yummy

I usually drop the whole thing in the pan but wasn't what I wanted to do.... felt like filleting something Guess I'm walleye deprived It sure was great

I know Frankie I think I'm going back tomorrow Need another plate

It was good GREAT just fried in butter and nothing else B

A big 6" - 7" salty should do the trick... golden shiner that is

Finally you decided Awesome rig Mike

After all my efforts yesterday, cooked some and they were GREAT Dipping in cold water Pan frying in butter Ummmmmm The steam is from cooking outside on the front porch on my port a stove since my Mrs does not like the smell of fish Leechman

Sometimes solo mission is the way to go Brian But your hauling too much hardware for my likings I always travel light Looks like you had fun Nice eye btw

My pleasure Frankie Your welcome Any time mon ami

Yes I do Chad Same spot Thanks!!! First time using paste and it works real well! It comes in 2 colours (pink & chartreuse). Give it a try, you won't regret it! Thanks Paul!!! It was cold with the wind gusting constantly... it didn't take long for the fish to freeze that's for sure Thanks Frankie!!! I can setup 5 up here but yesterday only used 4 With that many lines out in this cold temp, it's a lot of work maintaining the holes ice free every couple of minutes had to do the rounds Thanks Manitou!!! Thanks Bruce!!! Thanks Carp!!! Thanks spincast!!! I was happy and pleased to see the bigger ones come out to play

After last weekends skunking and a real disappointment ... was looking forward to today Weather wise, it was looking good, but a cold one again, minus a couple of degrees -20C with windchill -28C actually Ah well, went ahead and booked the day off and went fishing Dreamed of landing some beauties over night and today, got into some nice ones.... but, with all my reports, details first I left home around 7h30am and temp was -17C with windchill -27C North West winds at 22km/h, humidity at 65%.... well when I got to destination it was -21C and didn't know the wind factor but it was cold A snow storm had gone thru the valley last night and drop some heavy snow further north... All this to say that I had to brake trail to get to my spot Here's a shot from the lake As you can see, lots of snow had fallen So I punched 4 holes and got setup... here's a closer look of my office space First couple of rods The other two Closer look of number 4 Went 7 for 11 and what worked well, was the salties and Gulp paste in pink on a dead stick Nothing on jigging First time trying the paste and was real surprised at how easy it was to cover the entire hook Here's the group hug!!! Biggest was 12 3/4"... got the first 3 in 15 minutes and then #4 & 5 was a double header on the dead stick Wasn't quick enough with the camera But after that, couldn't leave you high & dry so made a video to explain the details of my setup and got a surprise as I was explaining you just have to watch it and crank up the volume to hear me talking All in all, drove 4 hours, fished for 4 and got into some beauties Bait of choice was, salties & Gulp paste in pink on dead stick, Macho minnow tipped with Gulp fish fry in white and 1/4oz chartreuse jig with grub & tipped with 1" Gulp minnow Enjoy!
