trapshooter Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 I thought I'd share some pics from a few recent ice fishing trips. Action on the lake trout has been good, but no real big ones yet. All have been in the 2-5lb range. I plan to put a lot more effort into trout this year in hopes of catching a 'big' one. My buddy Rob. We even did up a fresh lake trout shorelunch one day on the ice. Here's a pic of me frying fish with 2 pieces of kindling. Walleye have been hitting well too. Here's a couple pictures of some of the nicer fish so far this year. My buddy Colin with a nice 26"er I hit this pike the other day, which was a lot of fun on the walleye gear. We came across this wolf kill on the ice on Lac Seul. Pretty cool. Cheers everyone, and good fishing. ben
troutologist Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 Right on Ben, some nice fish there for sure. Cool pics I like that on ice fire set up and the Lac Seul chopsticks.
Jds63 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 Great report and pics Ben .... looks like the white tubes were working .... and those walleye are beauties is the ice 45 helping out locating the fish ? I have been field testing mine and am certainly impressed so far ....
FisherMike Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 nice work ben!!! i cant wait to get back up there.
trapshooter Posted January 22, 2010 Author Report Posted January 22, 2010 This is season #2 for me with the Humminbird flasher. Still works like a charm. It marks my swivel in 80' of water... what more can I ask for. Hey MO - not long now and you will be back up here. The real bugger will be waiting for our 2nd annual muskies and mustaches trip in Sept.
FisherMike Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 haha!! yep, soon enough. ive got muskies on my mind still. managed to find a manta on ebay the other day. also im thinking of a mid-summer musky moustache bonanza for a day or two. what do you think?? say hey to robby for me.
trapshooter Posted January 22, 2010 Author Report Posted January 22, 2010 Yeah, fished with rob 3 days this winter already. Good times. I'm always up for muskie fishing... you know that. Just a matter of finding 2 or3 days that we're all off.
Ron Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 Pretty kewl Rob. I gotta say though, that 45 gal drum musta been tough to haul in for a shore lunch!
terry71 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Posted January 23, 2010 Nice catch of fish. Hopefully the 45 gal drum comes off the ice before spring. Don't know what's cool about seeing a dead animal though. Just my thoughts. Again, nice fish dude.
scuro2 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Posted January 23, 2010 Nicely shot pictures...a pleasure to look see fish on ice.
solopaddler Posted January 23, 2010 Report Posted January 23, 2010 Nice to see an update Ben. Looks as though you're enjoying winter. (Man I wish I could hop on a plane and join you for a couple days.)
JohnAB Posted January 23, 2010 Report Posted January 23, 2010 Ben which lake you catching the lakers on? Big Vermilion?
Paully Posted January 23, 2010 Report Posted January 23, 2010 Nothing better than fresh lakers for lunch! wtg.
Spiel Posted January 23, 2010 Report Posted January 23, 2010 I'll take a mess a lakers that size anytime and the walleye aren't bad either. Oh and I'd say that looks more like an 18.5 gallon drum.
trapshooter Posted January 23, 2010 Author Report Posted January 23, 2010 Thanks guys. Some are Big V trout, John. I also fished a couple lakes closer to dryden.
johnnyb Posted January 23, 2010 Report Posted January 23, 2010 Great stuff Ben...thanks for posting it up!
trapshooter Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Posted January 25, 2010 Don't worry, the fire barrel comes off the ice every trip.
