Good luck.....i just got back...loads of fish...all titchy little guys....i'd brought some trolling baits....but the wind and rain made me run for cover...stayed shallowish.

Congrats...great news!

I found the site while i was still living in England. I was researching the fishing techniques so i had some idea what i was doing when i arrived to start a new chapter of my life in Northwest Ontario. Because we moved here mid-winter i spent the longest while on an icefishing forum, and was not till almost a year later researching fishing again that i found the site again and realised i'd joined previously......why do i stick around? cuz its awesome!

Great post Vinny! Enjoyed reading it. Pontoon Guy/Dude.......legend.....if you had video it would definitely go viral!

Real nice fish! that believer is exactly the same as the one i caught my first ever musky on last year.

cant see the picture but from the sounds of the replies NICE FISH!

nice pike.

hi all, well with my new work schedule fishing time has become even more erraticto what i used to enjoy. Got to lac seul...slow.....and a small lake on the way home from Lac seul.....slower....and my home lake...ven slower...but i did manage to at last catch a crappie outside of the spring spawn. I also spent 20 minutes on the shore in front of the house with my son jack...we did not catch a thing but was the best fishing i got done all week Lac Seul, Beaver lake and Trap Lake <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzApDWwfGsg?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzApDWwfGsg?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzApDWwfGsg?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> AT LAST...GOT A CRAPPIE OUTSIDE OF THE SPRING SPAWN Fishing our shore with Jack <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6p5W0n3tXM?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6p5W0n3tXM?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6p5W0n3tXM?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

Awesome Joe...gotta love the fall bite.

nice report....i'm glad i dont like football...would hate to have to 'decide'....lol. Great underwater shots.

NOOOOOO....that was not my son...these were kids i worked with....if it were my son it would have been different lol....just seems you're not allowed to say anything to the kids...you might "violate their rights" GOD FORBID!

brookies and specks....spent many hours treading quietly around on the ice ....no luck yet.

No probs Tom, the pics all yours and anyone elses for that matter. PS....awesome brookie/coaster report. Thanks Don....where the he'll ya been...or is it me thats not on here as much?

Great report! I saw that show on TV about catching coasters...your report was better!

Liknd your reports a lot Kwan...keep 'em coming. BTW.....nice pic of the release!

Hi All, Some time ago I mentioned that I was going to lose my job, well I sat on the bottom rung of the seniority ladder after many people were laid off, true I escaped the axe (barely) but with a full scale re-patriation plan by the largest aboriginal child and family services agency to get a lot the native kids back to their reserves still in full swing, our agency is still in downsizing mode, meaning that axe could get me at any moment. Then 2 weeks ago my other part-time job was offered to me full-time...I jumped at it, a little bit of breathing space, same money, but at least the new company is expanding rather than shrinking. Anyway, my last day at my old job was Saturday. The weather was awesome and I took the boys ( kids in care) up to Lac Seul as I had been promising all summer but had been cancelling every time due to the weather (wind). To cut a long story short, the trip was a bit disappointing fish wise and one of the boys had an almighty sulk on about something and refused to fish the whole four hours we were there, making the day less than pleasant for the other boy and myself. When we got back on Saturday, the non sulky boy heard me talking to a co worker about getting out the next day to a more local lake. The boy asked if he could come along. Well I squared it with the bosses and agreed to take him. I really wanted to get into some fish....properly...as I have been very unlucky when he's in the boat...always promising a banner day that never quite materializes. Well today it happened....awesome fishing. I was worried that we would skunk on walleye at one point, as we trolled spinners around for 3 hours with 30 or so Pike to show for our efforts. I was really hoping that the walleye would turn on at dusk...they did! Man they were nice fish, we anchored up...the 20+ kmh winds dropped to nothing...and straight jigged walleye after walleye from right under the boat...it was awesome...the kid was having the time of his life.....made my day! Unfortunately...as I’ve said before, confidentiality means videos or pics with the kid are no go....but we boated a shed load of fish....and I mean a lot....pike were generally small but a couple over 30". Walleye were huge! Fish after fish over 20" and kept 8 fat chunky 17"ers. Some of the best walleye fishing I’ve had so far this year, made even better because the kid finally got to experience what I’d been promising and failing to deliver time and again...GOOD TIMES. I TOOK A PICTURE OF ONE JUST BEFORE WE LEFT

Great report Terry, love the underwater stuff....MORE PLEASE!!!!

Nuffink like the inmistakeable 'THUD' feel of a nice walleye bite......cant wait for this weekend either....2 days on Lac Seul. Nice job on the musky!

Great win...congrats to youandyour dad.

good one

Great report man....really good read! The weather certainly got better, some of those days look perfect. Great trail cam shots too. Really enjoyed reading that.

NAH..Sorry man...bring on winter!...love the smell of a 2hp auger in the morning...smells like...VICTORY! LOL KF...that response is as funny if not funnier than the minnow incident itself...made me laugh anyway...thanks for that. Crafty little buggers eh...well i'm just thrilled to have them living here...i watch them most evenings as the sunsets....amazing creatures, dont mind forfeiting a few dozen minnows...but cant afford many more...lol. Thanks Rod Caster, was hoping someone would clarify that for me....are the Grouse the same as 'spruce hens'? YUP...ICEFISHING! LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT. Thanks for the heads up on the bite MB....you local as in Manitou lake off the 502?

Great report Dan, i dont get out on the water enough with the missus either these days...great fun to fish with her though. Some nice perch you had.
