Yeah, but it’s always the big one that gets away.

Nothing in NW Ontario? Really? Lol.

Hi all, Got out for some whitefish and lake trout. Had not had a laker all year until today. Actually went to the same spot two days ago and managed one whitefish and some pike and lost two trout at the hole, one being the biggest trout I have ever had on my line, felt like throwing up. That first day there were tons of fish around but they were being finicky, so I went back today much earlier in the morning, it paid off! Had around 8 whitefish in the 24” to 27” range, a couple of pike and landed two lakers, the bigger one at 34” and lost 3 with numerous chasers, all that packed into 4 hours made for a fun morning. I was fishing in 34’FOW , pike and lakers were on a 4” tube jig, and the whitefish were going crazy for a 1” purple and white crappie tube jig on a blue and glow 16th oz jig.

Hi all, more ice fishing video for y'as. This is a compilation of three short sessions I had about two weeks ago. Walleye, pike and a few whitefish.

Hi all, Got to mix my two of my favourite things last weekend, family time and fishing time. Went out at stoopid O'clock solo and got a few fish then returned home. My son asked where I had been while he was bowling in the morning and when I told him he looked disappointed, I said we could go back after lunch....BIG SMILE. We took the fire pit and fished/messed around until dusk before coming home. Fishing was exactly that in the afternoon, I fished but caught nothing. Anyhoo, fun times for all in beautiful NW Ontario.

Thanks, and yes, it was pretty cold that day, but it’s toasty in the pop up shelter.

Hi all, Managing to grab short sessions early and late recently. I got out just before sunrise last week, stunning scenery and a few fish, great start to the day.

Sharing my passion for fishing/outdoors.

Absolutely exhausting, but worth it. Thats the trick, occupying short attention spans, hence the hot chocolate, the unconventional weiner roast, fish finders, headlamps and banter, skidoo ride. -

I was grinning like a Cheshire Cat too! -
Hi all, I love sharing my passion and seeing the joy it brings.

Got out for an hour and a half before sundown. Slow start but it picked up as the sun hit the tree line. All cookie cutter 19"ers with a couple bigger ones. https://youtu.be/zX8WQZ0M3Ug

Hi all, Got out to my favourite convenient walleye spot, always a nice ride from the house, they even groomed the trail on the lake this year! Its been really mild here, averaging around -6℃ for the last couple of weeks. Only been getting out the last few days as I got my rear end kicked by a killer bout off flu or what ever, more like the plague if you ask me. Anyways, loving the mild temps at the moment, and the fish are plentiful too, pike, walleye and whitefish. Might try for trout somewhere next week, but I've got 12 days straight at work coming up, so unlikely....lol.

Had a couple hours to kill before picking Jack up from school, took off from the house on the sled , awesome groomed trails on the lake and through the bush, but my destination lake was a slush pit, managed to get enough for supper, worth the trip! https://youtu.be/mE6Xd9vX8U8

Good stuff! Thanks for posting. Slush is horrible here too.

Took my neighbour to try and get him his first Lake Trout through the ice. He got A nice one, job done! We lost a few more fish and I got some whitefish. The pike were everywhere on my spot that day, got some nice ones in the mid 30”s. We have been planning to go fishing for 3 years, lol, finally made it. Jared had a nice trout supper with his family, and my crew got whitefish soup.

Glad you are ok, scary stuff for sure. Thanks for posting, takes courage to admit a mistake, especially on a public forum. Personally I think you took good precautions and its one of those things where the saying 'no ice is safe ice' rings true, could happen to any of us out there braving the elements to get our fix.

Great pics! Thanks for that Cliff. Looks like you had the pier to yourself too.
-
LOL, we are both in Ontario....no?

Best way to work off a few xmas calories.

Jig and a minnow, all’s ya need. -
Yeah, I love grouse hunting and so does my son Jack. I just find as soon as the snow flies they are there but stay in the bush more, and for the last few yers we’ve had a ton of snow in the first week of October!!! As for deer hunting it’s on my radar and believe me I’ve had hundreds of offers to go, I just don’t need to shoot a deer because there is no shortage of deer meat if I want some, seems like a lot of work .... lol.
-
Yeah, we had a much longer period this fall where we had open water but temps would at some point during the day get just cold enough to make line freeze a problem and curtail my efforts at landing a fish or 2 once my boat was winterized. My wife pointed out to me that she has noticed October/November and Apri/May are difficult months for me.....lol.

We still only have 8" of ice max on Wabigoon, we are experiencing milder temps for a change this year. I'm still not confident to travel the main sections of the lake, by next week I will be though with the temps forecast and little or no snow forecast as of now.
