limeyangler Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 Hi all, Finally got out for some Lakers, its been a usual thing for me to get out Jan 1st for opener, but -40c and the head cold from hell and family stuff delayed me by a WHOLE 4 DAYS! nearly killed me....lol. So....got a window of opportunity yesterday afternoon.....and i can get to the trout lake by sled right from our house....I'M OUTTA HERE! Set up pretty much where i fished last year....65 FOW, various spoons, tube jigs, plain jigs used.....live baits from small to large minnows and some 6" sucker minnows used too....just playing with different styles and presentations....got hits on all the different combinations....fish were not fussy. Tons of smelt on the screen all day....really cool watching a dark orange signal move through the darker blue clouds of bait fish.....come right through and smack my jig just above the bait fish mark....AWESOME. Here's my vid for the couple hours i spent out, missed a few, released a few....kept 2....not much better than that except landing one over 10lbs which i still have not accomplished on the ice or in the boat....maybe this year. NEW YEARS RESOLUTION, WATCHING MY LANGUAGE ON VIDEOS....A COUPLE OF SLIP UPS...HALF BLEEPED
Skud Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 Great video. You didn't get every fish but you sure had some great entertainment from them.
Jet Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 Love those vids as always. Can't wait till the Laker waters down here are ready.
troutologist Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 Right on Simon! Can't wait to get out for them on the weekend. We should get together with some of the NWO folks for a day/weekend on the ice.
