Leecher Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Today was my day off work and so is Melissa from school...... so the plan was to hit my favorite lake to see if we could get my daughter into her first walleye.... but first..... the details LOL When I got up, temperature was -12C and no wind Left home at 6:30am, made a detour to Tims for some hot refreshments, then gaz for the car and the way we go.... destination Lac St-Marie Got to destination at 7:30am, temperature was -20C up there drove on the ice and made a beeline for my honey hole. Drilled 5 holes and ice was 16"+ thick. Was in about 12' fow over a weed bed, rigged 3 set lines with dead minnows and since Melissa now has her own jigging rod, rigged it with her favorite lure that she caught her first pike last season, Mr. Champ type spoon and minnow head. I on the other hand had a Buck Shot tipped with a minnow head. First fish to land on ice was from Melissa's end on the jigging rod... a whopper 14"+ perch PB FOR HER Never seen a perch that big..... that right there made for a very good start. But alas Melissa did not hook into an eye but she did get another 12" perch on a set line She kicked my butt today and I'm very happy that it happen..... cause that means she will look forward to our next outing together It was a great time spend on the hard stuff for both of us today... didn't get any golden but my daughter sure got some whoppers All fish were CPVR'd and you probably noticed the V in there..... yes have live release footage of all of them So without further adieu.... here's the video I made of our time out on the hard stuff Enjoy Leechman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It warms my heart to see fathers and children get out anywhere together, but fishing in particular. Thanks for taking the time to post it Jacques. I also love the way you speak French to her and English to us (I am not sure why, but I am in awe of people that have that talent). It is posts like this one that make this board great.
