Thanks Dan....this lake holds some real nice fishy wishies. I missed a bunch there the other day...i gave up and stuck to the whities....lol....just wasn't gonna be my day. Thanks weedline The 4" tubes are these CLICK HERE and the 2" inch tubes are these CLICK HERE and the one inch tubes were unbranded crappie tubes we had lying around in our tackle boxes..

[ Thanks C.A.R Thanks EHG...actually...the Vongole element was also a recipe i learnt when i worked as a cook in an Italian restaurant in England over 25 years ago...my 2nd ever 'real' job. As usual ...thanks Corvy! WOW...i seen your pics on &aceb00k, very impressive! Hey...did any of you lose the mud flap off a skidoo out there...i picked one up on the way out...its in the back of my pick up....its toast though...plastic shot to pieces. Beauties eh? Me too SD....lots to learn every time i go out...love it!

It was a blast Splash.....i love whitefish...especially when they are numerous and hungry! Thanks JB.....lovin your new profile pic man!!! Sucks to be me eh? I'll try and do better for ya Captain It aint bad....i'm still at the experimental stages with it....but i'm getting there. Thanks Jacques, lol...dunno who or what cooking with Yan is...oh well. I imagine it would be.....the think i like about whitefish for a stew type recipe is that it is a firm meaty flesh that does not disintegrate when cooked in liquid, i'd imagine walleye would just fall apart. OK....that is one of the most generous replies i've had, Thanks man

Lets hope your memory holds out

Hi All, Went out for some more whitefish action, got some nice trout too. When the whitefish bite is on it cant be beat for fun IMO, especially when all the fish are between 22"and 25". A couple of times we thought we had trout on when in fact it was a whitefish, when they want to fight they are no slouches! Fish were all from 38'FOW, live bait was not popular with the feeeeshes yesterday, with white tube jigs from 4" to 1" taking all the fish, occasionally these were tipped with a minnow chunk for some FLAVA. It was a morning bite with a real quiet spell of about an hour when the smelt all but dissappeared from screen. The fish were still there but not one would bite, apart from 2 'bumps' from what appeared to be Lakers higher up the water column. Then....like magic the switch was flicked back to 'ON' and for the last hour from 12-1pm we got a few more whitefish and a trout.

(released to breed and fight again ) ANOTHER NICE LAKER I thought i'd put together a recipe video of my whitefish stew that we had last night....fresh fish...anyway you do it is good but I kinda came by it by accident a year ago when i decided i wanted to eat fish other than fried. I had recently returned from France at the time and had had the opportunity to have some excellent fish soup while there. I thought i'd try to recreate the soup with a 'clam' twist as I make spaghetti vongole (clam sauce) often and always have the ingredients for it at home. I also added some shrimp to the mix cuz there were some in the freezer and my wife loves them. Basically throw it all into the tomato soup and cook......really good served with fresh garlic bread.

Another fine outing

THANK YOU PEOPLE...GREAT NEWS IT SEEMS Third Time the Charm for Second Chance Pet Network Posted by BGW on Tuesday, March 1st, 2011 am 12:11:31 AM Dryden's Second Chance Pet Network has probably won 100 thousand dollars in the Pepsi Refresh Everything challenge. When voting closed at 10 pm Cenral Monday night, SCPN was still in first place, right where they had been for over two months. SCPN had seen considerable support from the area and from across the nation. Complete details as they develope later this week.

I can catch most fish but i never said i was the sharpest tool in the box Skeets. Thanks for the vote!

Thanks people...every vote counts Anne works tirelessly all year round providing services for pets/unwanted animals and she will make very good use of the money.

Hi all, Ok...i've seen this done before on here and voted for a few too. So i was wondering if this community could help our community build a no kill animal shelter here in Dryden. We are in 1st place at present and voting ends tonight at midnight. In the last two attempts this year we came 2nd narrowly missing out out the substantial funds on offer. Second chance pet stores owned by a good neighbour of ours does so much for animal welfare in Dryden and surrounding areas and presently rent a property next to the pet store which is the No-Kill shelter. They have re-housed over 300 animals in the last 2 years but have outgrown the space. click on the link and vote if you can...would be much appreciated. HELP BUILD A NO-Kill Shelter

jacques....what would we do without you

Great day out Steve! Man i lost a measly 10-15lb....and i was peeved....i would have been near devasted to see and not land a 20lber...oh well....at least you know there's a big one in there Thanks for posting....great pics BTW.

Thanks for the replies guys, the fish in this lake are well fed, its packed full of smelt and it does not get a lot of pressure. Only one cmp on it and it caters mainly to Americans after trophy pike and smallmouth. The smelt in this lake is unreal, somedays you can be fishing in 60-70'FOW and the smelt will block out your screen top to bottom....i'm not exaggerating either. In fact sometimes my poor little X67c is useless as there is so much smelt it renders it useless....too much signal. I was reading the website for the lodge on this lake and interestingly the lake was 'stocked' legally with smelt a few years back. I thought this was an odd thing to do as smelt are considered a damaging invasive species in this area and others, and the regs say you cannot posess them alive or dead let alone transport them anywhere.....oh well...seems to have done the trick in this lake...the girth on the fish is certainly evident of that. Your gonna need more than a few whitefish buddy Great news Ben. The lake was slush free, looks like it had been nasty out there in the week or so before. The spot where i was with you is hard packed snow.....wind must have blown the area hclear as the snow was less than a foot deep. Thanks Icefisherman....i will tell my wife i have to go fishing now....dont wanna let anyone down not posting more vids now eh?

Hey Chad.........

Hi All, Went out with my buddy Clint today for lakers and whities. Clint landed 3 beauties, first one was a pig...the next two were nice too. I lost 2 at the hole....was not my day for trout, however I had better luck with the whitefish, must have caught 20 today and kept 8. Clint got 2 whities too and a ling, I lost a ling getting tangled in everything and anything that could get tangled in my line. We got a few double headers, some good laughs and supper thrown in to the equation. We both felt the trout were too nice to keep so back they went. It was another brutally cold day, -17C with 22kmh winds. No slush whatsoever on the lake though Lakers all fell for white 4" tube jigs tipped with minnow chunk, as did a few of the feisty whities. Definitely 2 types of whitefish down there...the biters and the window shoppers. You could be trying to tease one or 2 at the same time for 5 or minutes when another would just scream past the undecided ones and hammer it. Acme kastmaster started the day as the hot whitie lure, and then a 1/12" LPT tube jig did the damage. Fishing in about 40'FOW, a couple large trout came in to look that were suspended otherwise they were all hugging the bottom, but not shy of racing up 20' to check out a bait. Here's the Pics and Vids.
