BassAsin Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 so here we are in the new year and another season of specks begins, this year being a little more significant than most i got the chance to have my 2 best friends come with me my father who now lives a few hours from me and my best friend james who is a few hours the other way from me. we all managed to reunite and have a blast of a day, after working graveyard and getting off work at 3 am james had about an hour of sleep before leaving to meet my dad at 6. my dad said like a kid before christmas he didnt get a wink of sleep. good to know that the excitement doesnt fade with age it seems as though it actually becomes ever growing! So we get the skidoo's unloaded a family of them a ciation short track a tundra and a tundra long track 62 years of sled experience between the 3! we broke trail the 3 miles into the lake to meet 2 other lads fishing already and to our suprise over the course of the fall a logging road (and much easier) trail was put in. none the less we had our 6 lines in before sun up and were welcomed to a beautiful sunrise. at about 8 oclock we hit a small frenzy, james missing the same fish 3 times before pulling one up, and likewise with my dad, he only missed twice HAHAHA as for me i was running the video camera and getting some chuckles. nearing 10 oclock all 3 of us got into some fish putting the total at 5, lots of good times a good fire and some grilled cheese and we were all set for another run 2 more around noon and a missed fish put the total at 7 for the day my dad left early around 1 ish james and i satyed till close to 2:30 and missed one more at -20C the lines were freezing in pretty quick! January 2nd the 3 of us managed to get out again for about 6 hours and one bite all day and no fish! on a different lake. so happy new year to all and sorry i didnt get a pile of pictures, was more interested in the video (santa was nice to me and left a camcorder)
BassAsin Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Posted January 7, 2009 January 5th my buddy rob (stylincatch) and i got out for pike on a little pond where we have pulled out 10 pounders as kids, caught a 12 inch pike and missed a 7-10 pounder in the hole! i was kinda disapointed. jan 6th managed to get out to nippissing for a few hours in the evening went to a random spot miles from any shack,shoreline,person. managed to catch 6 perch and snapped an awesome shot of rob jiggin his tip up, the bush chiken was taken on the second with the new camera/camcorder at about 65 yards and to my suprise it turned out well!

Moosebunk Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 Good read man. Even though that logging road was in it probably felt more rewarding when you guys got those fish after breaking trail. Fun times in the 09.
