Jer Posted January 24, 2010 Report Posted January 24, 2010 After another day of fishing Chemong, we finally got to taste the fruit of our labours. We fished deeper early in the day and couldn't buy a bite. We moved to a couple of shallower spots and got into some fish... ...well Brandon got most of them as you can see above. He was fishing as shallow as 4'. We also managed a few sunfish which was a first for me through the ice. And then this... ...miraculously turned into this... ...for a midnight snack.
lew Posted January 24, 2010 Report Posted January 24, 2010 Good to see you getting the pattern figured out Jer, you've been working hard at it.
Jer Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Posted January 24, 2010 Thanks, Lew But I can hardly call it working. Going out to play on Buckhorn shortly, before the rain comes.
Sinker Posted January 24, 2010 Report Posted January 24, 2010 Looks like your onto something. I bet they're biting good this morning with this front coming!! S.
Greencoachdog Posted January 24, 2010 Report Posted January 24, 2010 ... and so the devastation begins...
Jer Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Posted January 24, 2010 More devastation on Buckhorn today. We musta caught 20 or 30 perch in a few hours. We let them all go just to keep everybody happy . Fished in about 8' of water with a little bit of weed. A heads up for anyone venturing out on Upper Buckhorn. Be careful, we found some pretty wonky ice out there, 12" and then 30' away, only 4"!
The Urban Fisherman Posted January 24, 2010 Report Posted January 24, 2010 Good work guys! What's with the stringer? did ya punch a hole and use it as a livewell? Cheers, Ryan
Jer Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Posted January 24, 2010 Good work guys! What's with the stringer? did ya punch a hole and use it as a livewell? Cheers, Ryan It was the only way Brandon could figger to hold up all his fish at once for the picture. They came home in a white bucket of course.
Leecher Posted January 24, 2010 Report Posted January 24, 2010 Some pretty good looking ones in there Jer Nothing like a good late night feed.... congrats Thanks for sharing Leechman

Way to go Jer... Chase a few of them striped things up this way will ya...it would be nice to feel sumpin' pulling on my string... Shane is probably right...the change in the weather might turn them on...unfortunately it is playing hell with my arthritis and the aches and pains from the last two outings...so I passed on today... Don't get old...it hurts too much... But then again...the alternative ain't so hot either...(or maybe it is... )
Terry Posted January 24, 2010 Report Posted January 24, 2010 nice going the stringer was a little strange
Governator Posted January 24, 2010 Report Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) That's a nice feed right there. I fished Barrie marina yesterday morning with little success. Landed 2 10"+ right away and then no bite after that. I had kept them cause it was early, luckily I had some filets in the freezer to add to today's lunch. Edited January 24, 2010 by Governator
cheetah Posted February 4, 2010 Report Posted February 4, 2010 Hey, has anyone been onto pigeon at all? specifically the river, I'm down by the Glen, drilled a bunch of holes but can't seem to find any water deeper than 1-2.5 ft. Apparently the channel will be as deep as 9ish ft. in the summer, but with the ice right now @ 14-16 inches and the levels down it's hard to find any depth. i would love to get into atleast 4ft of water for perch. P.S I know chemong is just a few km's down the road, but pigeon is almost at my doorstep....which makes it quite accesible for a quick dodge down to the fishin' hole to get some dinner! Thanks, Chris

Thanks, Chris I haven't seen anyone fishng the south end of Pigeon until today. I crossed the river at Emily around lunch time and there were a few people drilling some holes just north of the bridge. Whether they caught anything, or how the ice is, I don't know. They had just walked out.
Radnine Posted February 5, 2010 Report Posted February 5, 2010 ...for a midnight snack. You keep eating that for a midnight snack and we won't have to worry about the effects of ice fishing on Chemong for long! Jim
