pikeie Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) WOW! what a great day to be on the ice. the fishing was not fast and furious but we still maneged some fairly nice size perch. i won 3rd place with a 9 inch perch lol haha. so we got up at 5:30 and tinbanger went out to grab the coffee for the day. so when he got back got the van loaded up very fast lol couldn't wait to get on the ice lol, i was hearing latly that the perch have been biting very good there latly so i was excited because ive had enough of the 6 inch perch that simcoe has been invaded by this year lol. we got to the site and imediatly talked to lexxington. got to the ramp and got all set up talked to Moe and mr. JR, and out on the lake we went. got to one spot found 45 feet of water, got the hut set up and got the rods down, almost instantly i got bit and pulled up a dink perch lol, went on with that for almost an hour, then the action slowed down. Beans came out and joined up with us for the rest of the day. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1172365025 everyone was cathcing a few perch (except tinbanger lol), we started to get a few perch in the 8-9 inch range and decided to keep them hoping i would place in the tourny. we never moved the whole day lol stayed in the same general area till 1:00. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1172365165 still some soft spots out there http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1172365208 lots of sleds out there today too, they would just pin it 5 feet away from you almost wosre then those seadooers in the summer!! had a few neat looking trucks come past us today too http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1172365373 some random shots around us. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1172365414 my mom decided to join us at around 10:00 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1172365460 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1172365478 so we got to the weigh in at around 1:00 and boy were there lots of people there this year http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1172365499 the gormet cheifs working there majic lol http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1172365624 the prize table http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1172365659 motv8ter calling out the winners. i was susprized that i was able to place with a 9 inch perch, was off first place by 1/2 inch lol but i got out of there with a nice new tackle bag and plano type boxes. heres what our catch looked like at the end of the day. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1172365832 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1172365859 and my 3rd place fish lol http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/pik...pg?t=1172365893 nice big gut on it. so this was a very fun day, had a great time out there for a very good cause and i know that tylers family will benifit lots form this. thanks agian Mo for puting such a good event on agian this year Edited February 25, 2007 by pikeie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencoachdog Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Yeah! I'd say that was a very dial-up friendly report! Congrats on 3rd place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GbayGiant Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) I bet that's the nicest looking 9" perch you ever seen, congrats. I was at a big ice tourney last year near Sudbury and the winner got a little pike but from second to 100th place were perch from 4-12", I got some nice prizes for a 7" perch, It can be tough some days. Your fish looks like it ate a 8" perch. Edited February 25, 2007 by GbayGiant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) After trudging my way out as far as the first hut I recognized Tinbanger and family and asked if there were any spare holes around... Tinbanger and his guys/gal not a bad pic considering I was sitting where I fell on my arse...thanks for a hand up Dave !...I managed to catch four dinky perch... And here's the guy that all the noise was about...Tyler !!!...God bless him... And here's my #1 grandson 23 year old Robert with his son (my great-grandson) Ryan James enjoying life on Chuck and Shelley's ATV Great big KUDOS to all who participated and donated monies and prizes for this worthwhile cause and to those who did the legwork to make it the success it was...made getting up at 03:00 AM worthwhile...

Woodsman Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 pikeie" Nice meeting you yesterday & seeing your three fish. BTW that was 3 more than I caught. Congrats on you prize. What a difference a year makes. The 2 fish I caught last year (21" laker & 9 1/2" perch) would of been both 1st place winners this year. Last year not even close to winners. Best Wishes to all: Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
