End of season walleye...IN THE BOAT!!!!!
limeyangler replied to limeyangler's topic in General Discussion
No Seriously, it was really fun and better than staying home and arguing in online fishing forums about weed and booze! -
Hi all, Got to fish the last day of walleye season in the boat, had done awesome in the same spot from shore (thats another video coming soon) but had to get out in the boat just because that does not happen that often up here and usually we are still on the ice. My buddies came out with me and we had a hoot, nothing too big but enough for a supper in the near future.

Hi all, Another video i'm afraid...lol. Well the ice is too sketchy for my comfort level now and so its time to get inventive for fishing opportunities while we wait for the ice to go. Still another 4 days till walleye season closes so I headed to a small dam in the hopes the current had cleared some ice. There was plenty of room to cast as it turned out. As I was arriving a group of 5 people were leaving, they had a bucket with them and I thought it was full of fish, turns out it was empty and they had caught NOTHING! Undeterred I set up a slip bobber and cast up current, first pass and the bobber went under and I pulled in a nice walleye that proceeded to cough up half a dozen fresh minnows, lol, looks like it had fun with the group that just left. No other bites despite walking 1km up and down the shore eventually returning to where I caught the first one. It was bloody cold and only the fact that I had to drive an hour to get there kept me there till it started to get dark, glad I did as the bite was insane! Got four keepers and some smaller ones went back, and it was really cool to see thousands of glowing eyes moving around the shallows in the dark with the aid of my headlamp, can't wait to show my boy Jack. Did not manage to get any footage of that as the footage was too dark too see but here is the video of some of the fish I caught.

My kids gone bowling, I'm washing the quad in the sun...perfect!

Lol, Rick you just described my tortuous video production process! Very little snow this year and it went from -30 to plus temps overnight a few weeks back. Kevin was making noises about community my up in the winter to ice fish...you guys should make a plan. Forecast is plus 19C today.

Hi all, Had a day off, plan was crappie in the morning, head back to the house for lunch, pick up the dog and head out again for walleye in the evening, worked great, love it when a plan comes together! The ice is worse than I thought, drilled a couple holes in the morning and although there is 18"+ it is honeycomb already for the most part, auger went through it like a hot knife through butter, guess its down to the thaw we had earlier in the year and then almost zero snow since without a mother thaw afterwards. the crappie decided to show up on my spot on Wabigoon really late, oh well, will be hunting them in the boat pretty soon. The walleye I caught in the evening were at another lake just up the road. I usually quad all the way there from my house across the lakes and skidoo trails but wanted to take Roloff with me so we trailered up there. Landing was toast and had to travel half a click to find ice strong enough to walk out on, drilled a couple holes, same deal as Wabigoon, 18" of honeycomb sketchiness, lol...so I jumped on the quad and pinned it to my spot. Got 4 walleye, one female 3 males, not anywhere near their spawning ground yet, which was a good thing for me as there was no way I was going near the creek! Here's the video as usual.

You lucky devil, only two hours. My closest cabelas is 4 hours+ away in Winnipeg , if I am buying a big ticket cost item I have to put in the leg work, but like to get what I actually want than settle for what's just available.

I got some Guidewear last year.....LOVE IT!
-
Thanks man! LOL...really....hate is such a strong word, maybe I just annoy you a little.....lol. Ah man, don't think its gonna happen this year, ice is pretty sketchy now, last time I went to my whitefish lake there was a pressure crack running shore to shore, had to cross it, there was open water there a week ago, no way Im venturing out there now.
-
Hi all, Still a good 18" of ice here, but I think it's going to go fast now. Got out with my best friend and fishing buddy Roloff the other evening for a couple of hours, nice to have the pup along now its warming up. Got some walleye and a few pike to bite, great way to spend an evening.

Hi all, Had another really crappie morning on Saturday.

Hi all, Got out late afternoon on a lake that holds lakers and walleye. Lots and lots of small lakers and lots of chunky walleye. First time I have ever fished walleye in 5 feet of water on the ice.
-
Hi all, love this time of year, can actually convince my wife to come ice fishing...lol. Stays light enough that once supper is done there is still time for a couple hours out and about.

NEW DRONE REGULATIONS....what a crock!
limeyangler replied to limeyangler's topic in General Discussion
LOL...I thought you'd like that one, you just wait till I start flying my drone to do Chem trails....lol. -
Have a good time man! Sounds fun. I'd take my boat too,cheaper and more worry free. I agree 10000% on the guide thing, working it out is the fun bit, working it out and actually catching is priceless!

Bought an expensive drone, then 3 weeks later Government brings out witch hunt style regulations....crappie! I don't think they consulted any drone operators before drafting these regulations, probably done by some overpaid knobber in Downtown Toronto whose idea of the great outdoors is a Latte in a street cafe on Yonge St. The rules, which are effective immediately, mean recreational users will face a fine of up to $3,000 if drones weighing more than 250 grams are caught flying: Higher than 90 metres. Within 75 metres of buildings, vehicles, vessels, animals or people. More than 500 metres away from the user. At night, in clouds or somewhere you can't see it. Within nine kilometres of somewhere aircraft take off or land, or a forest fire. Without your name, address and phone number marked on the drone itself. Over forest fires, emergency response scenes or controlled airspace. So, some of these are common sense, but some are just plain punitive. Are they talking about my animals, buildings, vehicles? heck, I'm a people, does that mean I have to walk 75meters away from the drone before launching? What if my wife and kid are there and are ok with it, what if my only neighbour is ok with it, in fact he will probably want aerial shots of his house knowing Bob. Does this mean on an isolated lake (there are just a few of those around here...sarcasm) i can't film myself close up in my boat? what if there is no-one around and suddenly tourist camp Joe comes zooming in on my marker bouy while fishing/ filming? Put my name/adress/telephone # on it.....are you kidding me? Now any psycho conspiracy theorist ( not you Manitou .....lol) who finds my drone will be at my door step claiming I was stalking them....guess what loser.....fish and scenery are far more interesting to me. At least with an anonymous registration system (not required here in Canada) if someone finds my drone they contact the authorities and the authorities contact me...BUFFER ZONE DUDE! So not higher than 90 meters but at least 75meters away from everything else that exists in the universe including Dark matter no doubt. Well thats clever, lets get everyone trying to operate the aircraft in a narrow 15 meter zone...dumb...dumb...dumb. I bought this expensive Drone and Revenue Canada got their nice little chunk of that, now they are practically regulating me out of the sky, can I have my money back plz? I can only imagine that I'm lucky given my rural location, can't imagine how peeved people in more urban areas are with these regs. The US regs are far better thought out.

Those blue litter boxes make excellent minnow buckets too! I usually have a bag in the sink but putting it in the container is GENIUS!!!lol...gonna try that. I freeze all my carcasses and take them to the dump on dump run days. Another trick to getting the skin off is after the first inch or so of clean skin is separated make a small incision in the skin with the knife enough to get your thumb in...and there ya go, a handle! LOL...Roloff has food anxiety....lol. He will eat fish only when the cats eat it first, he won't eat a whole fish carcass but will destroy a grouse carcass. Having said that if he comes across a rotting fish carcass on the ice he will inhale that no problem, of course he has to roll his whole body in it first, he's a strange but lovely beastie. Oh and he has brought home a few frozen stiff deer body parts too. WHAT? LOL...thanks man.
