snag Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Hey Y'all. Headed out to the Islands yesterday. There was the possibility of other OFNers there too (BabyHerc and DSN) Twas not to be. I was the only fisherman on the islands. Matter of fact, the place was devoid of life. Love it. I was hoping that the day would be as nice as Sunday but it turned out to be windy and cold. I had some great bites and lost a few. Here are some pics..... They don't like it when you troll from the ferry. Thought this Rocky racoon was dead but he was homeless struggling/squirming to hide his head from the sun. I think he was kicked out of the bed at night and was in the doghouse. I have an extreemely tasteless caption for this but I promised Muskystudd that I would be good. (Insert your own caption here: ) And now the CATCHES!!!!!!!!!!!! This one was a reaaaaaal fighter! And is for sale. Needs a little TLC. Lost this one. Not hooked to well. Too bad it was a decent size. Had some great follows at this spot, then lost a nice one and then finally was rewarded with this lil'snotty. This one was totally unexpected. I cast into 5 FOW just for fun and this dude hits. Very aggressive fight. That's it folks!!!!!!!!! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmtcanada Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Awesome report snag!! Great to see people getting out this late in the year. That last pike was a nice size! Trolling from the ferry?? They dont like that??? Jeez....it's not like your disrupting their business or anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right Cliff. However, I don't fish catch and release if the weather will be below freezing. Not because I can't handle it, simply because the fish can't. Their eyes and gills freeze up in seconds. They will die. So it'll be catch and clean soon on the ice (I hope) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

007 Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 WTG Snag! Good to see that those pike are still there. That last one is a good size. Have caught a few myself from that area this year but never that big - always little rockets. A nice reward for the long walk to and from the ferry! Did the racoon make it into the hole? Maybe I'll get out there this weekend for one last cast for this year. Thanks for sharing. 007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
