Morning all....brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Was a bit chilly out this morning, wife has always wanted to throw a bucket of water up and turn it to ice...she succeeded. I had to try too...lol...cool...literally! Now i have to go and clear all the snowdrifts then i'm going for some trout. COOL!

Hey chris, I was watching this the other day, gave me a few ideas. It also recommends fishing a little shallower for the big ones.

yeah....but they got rid of the gun registry

Awesome lakers and whities...in a boat in January?....love it!

LOL...yeah...you have to be careful and plan ahead so there is no descernable pattern....lol. What i cant stand is people who come to work sick and play the martyr card....go home...maybe there is someone there who actually gives a damn!

That there makes me want to call in sick to work! When you pulled that through the ice i shouted out...."HOLY". Great catch. (u got braid on that reel?)

That sounds awesome.....dunno where you would find one of those....maybe use a spear fishing decoy hollowed out?

How the hell did i miss this post! Awesome job boys. How deep were you using your gopro?....how did you rig it for underwater? Is the marcum better in low light because it has infrared lights on the camera? Fantastic fish too guys....that walleye was a piggy!

Hi all, Wind was ridonkulous all day, lots of snow drifts to snowblow and other assorted chores. Finally wind died down, 2:30pm...hmmmmmm...not long considering nothing packed to go...ahhhh...screw it...just go for an hour....will be nice to get out! In the end 4 fish iced.....3 of them in the first half hour....then one right at the end....got home before dark with 2 in the bag...nice way to spend an hour or so...at least i think so. 70'FOW, jig and minnows.....and 3 split shot and a circle hook with 18" fluro leader on the set rod....set rod had 6"-7" minnows. Not many big fish in this lake (except for the walleye which are humungous and conspicuous by their absence) but always plenty of action with the smaller trout and ling in the winter.

Awesome....i mean...holy crap....AWESOME!

Good job B! looks tasty. how deep were they?

What a cool start to the season...too bad about the rod...but like Chad said...did make me chuckle a bit. Keep, email coming.....how ya liking your new electronics so far?

lol...well now that you have sooooo generously edumacated me on what snot rockets look like take the slugger with ya.

Ewwwwwww...you pick those things up????

I have an X67c and an X4. The x67c is color.....the x4 black and white. I definitely noticed a slow performance with even the screen looking a bit funny when i had it out in -20....i use it in my iceshack now. My X67c probably gets 3 or 4 trips before the battery needs charging....12V 7ah SLA.

lowrance and hummingbird both kit their units out for the ice. Find either in your price range...make sure its a color TFT screen(black and white you will have probs in cold temps) and get the one that you like best....both brands are excellent fishfinders.

Thats why they call this area 'Sunset Country'. Thanks Chad....hope to be ino some walleye and whitefish next wednesday. Thanks man, yup...hes a complete spazz....but we love him. Was windy, cold as hell...but yeah...fun to be out. Hey John. Good to hear from ya. As for the whitefish we got the other day...i usually make a kind of spicy fish stew with shrimp....i dont have a smoker. Thanks dood. I need a new computer...my existing one does not have enough 'uuumph' to cope with the GoPro. This lake always has good numbers....just not the biggest.

Wicked report! Looks like a blast. That Aligator is too cute!

WTG Rich...WTG

Hi all. Well.....like most of my trout openers...this years was no exception....almost skunked....got one small one all day. After spending the best part of the morning trying to break trail we turned back from our original destination. Problem was steep hills/ bare granite and hardly any snow. Had a day off for chores in between then headed out this afternoon for another shot at some lakers. Instant results had me looking for the monster walleye that inhabit the lake i was on.....was not to be. THE TRAIL BROKE US NEW YEAR'S DAY AFTER A POOR OPENER I REORGANISED MY GEAR AND REDOUBLED MY EFFORTS THIS AFTERNOON I HEADED OUT AGAIN......ROLOFF WAS NOT AMUSED HE WAS NOT COMING NICE RIDE OUT.....INSTANT SUCCESS TOO. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cvfS2KeGlNE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> NICE LITTLE SESSION.....AWESOME SUNSET ON THE WAY HOME

HAHAHA...minnow motel...good one! Great opener Blair.
