limeyangler Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) Hi All, Yesterday i was treated to an eagerly anticipated trip out to Lac Seul by invite of Benbeattie and his buddy Graham . I have fished here a few times on open water and its awesome for all sorts of fish. The first spot we hit was a narrows in around 25 FOW....buckshots and plain jigs were the tackle....with plain jigs...especially glow winning out in the end. No sooner than setting up my set line went...lookd like a good pull....but never connected. Then the perch kept us busy for 15 minurtes before the bite died. Half hour later the walleye showed. We got around 5 before the bite stopped again. I THINK THIS WAS THE BEST ONE OF THE DAY <embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i263.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid263.photobucket.com/albums/ii158/vishuscirquel/Movielac1.flv"> MY LITTLE GUY THE BOYS WITH THEIRS After a quie spell....the whitefish moved in, I LOVE CATCHING WHITEFISH!!!! Graham started us off with a real monster at around 26", Ben followed up ith another big one around 24". I got 2 in Quick succession moments later. I think graham got another soon after that. NICE BIG WHITIE FOR GRAHAM <embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i263.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid263.photobucket.com/albums/ii158/vishuscirquel/Movielac4.flv"> BEN FOLLOWED THAT WITH ANOTHER LARGE WHITIE I GOT A COUPLE IN QUICK SUCCESSION..dunno why i'm almost upside down in this clip....darn cameraman...lol <embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i263.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid263.photobucket.com/albums/ii158/vishuscirquel/lac6.flv"> GRAHAM'S 2ND COUPLE MORE SHOTS OF THE SAME FISH I CAN ADD A SMALLSH 21" WHITIE FOR TEAM #3 The bite pretty much died after that...i think the guys got a walleye or 2 after that...and a few jackfish. We moved on to another spot after that. On arrival Ben found some treasure....a really cool pair of shades.......which he wore a little longer that either Graham or mydself were comfortable with...lol...just kiddin' Ben. ELTON JOHN ICEFISHING? The depth was a little shallower than our first stop, around 18-22 FOW. Jigs and minnows still the weapon of choie. The perch were a real nuisance...especially with the set lines....but we got a few more keeper size walleye. I got into the Tullibees for around half an hour and iced 5 or 6 which Graham and Ben kept for deadbaiting pike. All three of us lost at least one big Jackfish, and iced a few smaller ones too. I had a hit and snap off at 8' deep and so tried higher up the water column again amonst the tulibee and got a pike on a micro tube...never had a pike hit that high up the water column whilst ice fishing before...which was kinda neat...also did not expect it to hit a micro tube on 1/8 Oz jig. THE PERCH WERE BUSY <embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i263.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid263.photobucket.com/albums/ii158/vishuscirquel/Movielac13.flv"> WE GOT A FEW MORE KEEPER WALLEYE TULIBEES CAME OUT TO PLAY ALL OF US LOST A FEW BIGGER JACKFISH <embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i263.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid263.photobucket.com/albums/ii158/vishuscirquel/Movielac20.flv"> BEN GOT THE BEST OF THE PIKE <embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i263.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid263.photobucket.com/albums/ii158/vishuscirquel/Movielac18.flv"> WE ALL GOT A FEW THIS SIZE TOO THIS ONE HIT AT 8' DEEP IN 20' FOW.....IT WHACKED A MICRO TUBE I HAD ON FOR TULIBEE/WHITEFISH!!

trapshooter Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 Hahaha Simon, great report. Beep, Beep, Beep... Oops! Glad we could finally get you up here for a day. Too bad there wasn't any big walleye in the mix, but let us know when you can come back and hopefully we can get you on a bigger walleye. Next time I'll let you wear my lucky ice fishing sun glasses Can't believe someone left that pair of performance eye wear on the ice.
ccmtcanada Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 So who was the potty mouth anyways??? LOL
trapshooter Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 lets just say Graham and I were a little surprised to see the size of the whitey that came up the hole. AND the camera man didn't give us any warning that he was 'rolling tape'.
ehg Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 Great multi-species ice fishing report. Those whitefish are big. Nice report as usual, like the videos!

The camera man is also in charge of editing...lol...and the very last words on the clip were cut...that would be me declaring..."that is a big whitie".....lol.
