Leecher Posted December 26, 2008 Report Posted December 26, 2008 (edited) Hello everyone, hope you guys had a wonderfull Christmas and that Santa was good to you all For me, couldn't ask for anything more.... Christmas eve and Christmas day was spent with family, had a great time, a few drinks and some good food... just doesn't get any better than that The 3 amigos had planned to hit good old Mcbay today for some ice fishing.... and what a day we had.... caught my first Pike and LMB and lots of perch Temperature was -16C early morning with no winds but once we got to our spot, it picked up to 20Km from the east Had a hard time finding local shops that were open to buy minnows but finally found one and the way we go. We had originally plan to leave at 9:00am but with not being able to find open shops got to our spot at around 11:00am Got our tipups setup in 12' to 15' fow rigged with hooks and live minnows and each had a jigging rod.... We caught 5 pikes, 2 bass and 20 perch all together Here is Paul's first pike and mine... Then one of my tipups go's down and to my suprise, was an LMB.... my first Real nice bucket, took a couple more shots Then it was Paul's turn and last but not least... the perch that Paul and I caught There are more pics that Kevin and Paul were able to snap.... I'm sure they will follow Had a real fun time out there.... Thanks Paul and Kevin All fish were CPR'd except the pannies Hope you enjoy!! Jacques aka Leechman Edited December 27, 2008 by Leechman
fishindevil Posted December 26, 2008 Report Posted December 26, 2008 A nice mixed bag for sure !!!!. ..and even a few buckets for a little excitement,some very nice perch morsels as well !!! i bet they will taste better than turkey cheers
Greencoachdog Posted December 26, 2008 Report Posted December 26, 2008 (edited) Great report and pix the Jacques!!! Our Bass get real paled colored like that too when the water gets cold. Why aren't y'all lipping those Pike like the last report? Wasn't it a bit tough CPRing those Perch?... they look kinda stiff I know what you mean about the wind, it can be dead calm here and all I have to do is touch my boat cover and it'll pick up at least 10 mph!

holdfast Posted December 26, 2008 Report Posted December 26, 2008 Wow nice Pics, never seen so many posts of Bass under the Ice
lunkerbasshunter Posted December 26, 2008 Report Posted December 26, 2008 great report! largies through the ice is a nice surprise for sure! cheers!
Whitespinnerbait Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 How do you CPR perch after they've been frozen on the ice for a couple of hours then filleted and coated with batter and fried up for a snack
wallyboss Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 Good outing Leechman. I was going to go out this morning but the Boxing Day Sale at LeBaron's won out , I picked up a few things I needed and according to my wife a few things I didn't need. You can never have too much fishing stuff. Never caught a largemouth on a tipup, does it grab the bait and take off like a pike or just slowly brings down the tipup like a walleye does?
ciceri Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 lol, nice job, but that largie doesnt look to good,hah.

Glen the water is so cold that just taken a pic while holding the fish and your fingers go num The bass are light colored at this time of year compared to summer Lipping a gator..... no way.... not this amigo CPRing the perch.... yeah me bad should of said "all CPR'd except the pannies" Good outing Leechman.

Dan, when bass hits, it's like a walleye, except the tipup stays half down and you have time to feel the weight when tugging the line and setting the hook.
