bigugli Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Back on Mar 1st invited Icefisherman and Crappieperchhunter down to hit on some smelts. I figured it would be no problem, I hadn't heard of a tough day's bite this year. They were waiting for me. That cold cell shut things down harder than I expected. Tried a few different tactics and moved but the smelts were hugging bottom and few were rising to the bait. It wasn't til the last 1/2 hour out that we found the right presentation and started to get hits. Only a few handfuls were going to have a date with the skillet. It was great to meet some OFNer's to fish together. Sorry I couldn't put the pattern together. Now Emil brought his young son with him and, let me tell you, He is an absolute charmer. He was in his own world having a gay old time and keeping us cheerily amused. That boy is a gem, Emil. You are a lucky father. Sorry for the late report. The "Crash of OFC" and the onset of the flu shortly after left me a bit preoccupied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icefisherman Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Bruce, thanks for the hospitality and the guided trip. Never fished for smelts before so I was curios to try it.,....yes it took me a while to fines it and the weather/wind didn't help but hey....we still had great time and I was quite happy to see my son enjoying his first ice trip. He got a bit cold last 30 min or so but hey I did too ;-) Bruce sorry we couldn't stay as I wanted to get him back home for a warm bath but we'll sure do it next time. Just hope for better weather;-) Cheers, Ice Fisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappieperchhunter Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Yes it was a good day Bruce. I enjoyed myself very much and was glad to get out with you and Emil and his son. Emil your young lad is a gem. You got yourself a fishing partner for life right there. It was nice to meet your family too Bruce and the fish fry was awesome. I don't know if I will make it back down this year, but I would like to make it down a couple of times next winter and I will hunt you down if I do. Hopefully Big Cliff can join in as well. I know he enjoyed his trip down there too. Keep some time open for a fall perch trip. I owe you a nice day on the water. Thx again for the great day. Regards, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
