Great report… thanks. Love the baby Snook.

The crash can happen really suddenly too.

Hi all, had a bit more time today and my neighbour and me took the longer trek down the lake to a good crappie hole. Fishing was decent and we got a couple of nice walleye too.

That was the warm up for today with my neighbour.

Hi all, dropped the kid off at school and then loaded the snow machine for an epic journey of 1.5kms to the ice road for crappie. Had not fished that spot so far this year, and its not my favourite spot, but there are (small) fish there and its close to home. I braved the elements as I was trying out drilling a grid, which I always do for crappie, but this time I had the grid set up so I could chase the fish with the Active Target, worked a treat and with the grid spaced out in 5' increments it was really fun to pin point a hole 20' feet away, walk over , drop a line and see the fish there with my regular fishfinder. Not many big ones today, actually no big ones, but i kept 10 acceptedle sized ones and threw a few drinks back. Its meant to be warmer here the next couple days and i'll be getting out to a better crappie spot for sure...TIGHT LINES!

Turns out it will be fine dining, for my neighbour....my culinary plans got scuppered by work, not that he'll be complaining.

Sounds delicious! I’m going to try doing pan seared so it has a crispy skin with a caper and olive vinaigrette type deal.

Thanks buddy!

Usually I don’t head out when it’s that cold, but I was really bored… lol.

Hi all, Got on the lake about 1pm and left at dark. I drilled a few holes in different spots but in the end settled for the spot i got some on the other day as that was the only spot i marked anything moving. Waited an hour and a half before three came along at once and then it shut down. A 20" and a 17.5" walleye landed and another one got off at the hole, then a few whitefish showed up and I coaxed one to bite. Luckily there was no wind as it was around -20℃, but the shack was toasty.

Hi all, Been colds heck here, so hooked up the Otter and headed out to try my Active target on the ice for the first time. I was not sure of ice thickness or if the creeks were frozen for access, but it was all good, surprisingly there was close to 14" of good black ice, with almost not enough snow for my machine. Anyway, got into some pike before I even got the camera on or the tent set up and then sat for a couple of hours being run a merry dance by some smaller whitefish. I was beginning to think the walleye were on a day of until literally the last cast and watched a 24"walleye smack my line. Got it up, quick picture and back it went, fun couple of hours.

Welcome aboard Darrin!

A deer got nailed by wolves a week earlier 50 yards from where I was fishing, we figured that’s where it came from, nothing but blood and a few tufts of fur left.

It’s been +C temps for 4 days here, found this bugger out ice fishing yesterday.

Oh jeez, I don’t wanna ever go through, not even up to my ankles… lol.
