Skud Posted January 14, 2010 Report Posted January 14, 2010 I slipped away from work this afternoon and was on the ice fishing by 2pm. Walked out to 110 fow and set up shop. Fish regularly showed up on the radar and took a look at my lures but I didn't hook into a fish until 3:30pm. A little 16" grabbed my Jigging Shadrap. Snapped a pic and sent it back down. About 20 min later this fatty chased up after a Williams gold/silver. Being too small to feed a family of six I sent him on his way also. The action died so I moved into 95 fow. The sun went down and I was cursing the fact that I let dinner go. I had about 4 hits that I had missed on a 4 inch tube so I down sized to a 3 inch to see if that would get a fish to suck it in better. As daylight was fading I looked to the shoreline to make sure I knew were I was heading to get off the ice. Just then a Laker hammered the tube almost taking the rod from my hand. After a short battle I iced dinner, a sweet 26". For once Lady Simcoe blessed my efforts. It usually takes me all winter to catch 3 trout through the ice. It is nice to get that monkey off my back so soon in the season.
archie_james_c Posted January 14, 2010 Report Posted January 14, 2010 Niiiiiiice Lakers dude How do you do on thos jiggin raps?
Paully Posted January 14, 2010 Report Posted January 14, 2010 Sweet looking laker! How thick is the ice in that area?
Woodsman Posted January 14, 2010 Report Posted January 14, 2010 Looks like a decent day. I'm planning on heading up tomorrow morning. Probably IBP to start than if lucky on whities on to BBP for lakers.
Phil 65 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Posted January 14, 2010 hey skud i was the guy in flip over frabil walked past you around sun set . you did well nice pics
douG Posted January 14, 2010 Report Posted January 14, 2010 Very nice, skud, three fine fresh fish, but that last one was a beauty! You have four kids? How do you find time to fish and hunt?
wuchikubo Posted January 14, 2010 Report Posted January 14, 2010 Nice lakers Skud! Well, I'll be giving Lady Simcoe a try tommorrow, most likely for whities off IBP. I've tried a number of times with other friends on KBay only to be the only one skunked for lakers! Lady S has my number, one of these days I'll hook up with a laker. Hopefully, this year.
cityfisher Posted January 14, 2010 Report Posted January 14, 2010 nice report! any machines out there?
Skud Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Posted January 14, 2010 archie_james_c : The jigging Shadraps have produced for me almost every time. A top 3 lure for me now. Shore Lunch : The ice is 6-8 inches. Phil65 : A pleasure meeting you. douG : As my post stated, I have to 'slip away'. HearingFish : Simcoe had my # for many, many years. I hope to keep my success going. Cityfisher : There are very few machines out there. 99% of the fishermen are playing it safe and walking. Thanks for the comments all.
