OMG...HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO BLIND....OF COURSE ...THE GLOVES! THANKS GBDUBYA :thumbsup_anim:

Hi All. Well I've broken a couple of PBs this year, most skunks, most consecutive skunks, smallest in species, least amount of fish in a season....lol.....unfreekinbelievable! In my defence I have been without a sled for over a month which limits where I can go, even with that factored in I should have at least had a couple, but nope....SKUNK AFTER SKUNK. I went to the ice shack a couple of times last week and had lunch with Jack while wetting a line, I even went back both days for the evening bite with no luck. COMPANY AND LUNCH WERE GOOD THOUGH These trips to the ice shack were preceded by 3 journeys by truck onto the ice to various spots near my house that will 'usually' at least produce one or two small keepers.......but nothing. On Sunday I decided to drive out on Osbourne Bay on Eagle lake....was able to drive to a spot I do pretty wellon in the fall....but nope....SKUNKED again! So I was really excited to get out yesterday and get into some decent lakers at a lake that is packed full of them...a bit of a trek in on the snowmobile...but Cliff's two up was more than sufficient. The weather was Stunning...blue skies, temp rising to a balmy -3C, hardly any wind. We drilled our holes....................... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vZkDJh-PPpU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen> </iframe> And we fished from 9am until 3pm....drilled over 40 holes in 4 different locations and for all our efforts this is all we got....................... MY PB SMALLEST LAKER We decided we should pack up and hit the main part of Eagle Lake on the way home...at least turn up with some fish when we faced our loved ones. We almost never even managed that because when we arrived the auger had lost its cap and all the gas had emptied out. Cliff unclamped the fuel line on the sled, fired it up as I held the fuel line in the auger tank...lol...worked, we got some holes drilled. I lost a monster fish straight off the bat, and had three missed bites after that. Cliff got one missed bite too. But no fish made it up the hole. NICE SUNSET THOUGH So....although I have the pleasure of having all this wonderful nature right at my doorstep. Some pretty awesome friends and company who share my passion for the outdoors, a long suffering wife who has never said I could not go fishing......I am not satisfied....lol...I NEED TO START CATCHING FISH AGAIN! Should get my sled back next week..... UPDATE ^^^^^^^^^^^ Well i wrote about getting my sled back this week...hah,,,its as good as dead. Complete crank rebuild and pistons....looking at around $1800 on a sled worth maybe that. I did just talk to a guy about a new engine...he has mine for $500....might go that route...might just have to go without a sled for now, money is tight these days and the sled is a luxury, although given wehere we live it is 'almost' a necessity.

Great pics RC! wow...the walleye are on fire on Nip this year it seems or am i wrong? Just seems you guys did not get as many last year there.

me too.

The fishing is ok around that area....i live about 15 minutes from the landing that serves Century Lodge. HOWEVER....the guy who owns the place pulled a pretty lousy stunt on me when i was out in my boat one year.......so i vowed to not give them any good press ever.

Great stuff Emil.....great fish!

Shocking news. Condolences to the family.
