The Urban Fisherman Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 We managed to sneak out for a couple hours yesterday, for a whopping 3 times fishing in 4 months, but that's the way it goes sometimes! They're calling for warm temps and rain this coming week, and in my area that means we'll be fishing out of our boats come easter long weekend! We got off to a slow start as is usually the case when getting ready to ice fish with a 3 year old, but finally made it out to blue sky's and +7 Degree weather! Hard to beat a day of ice fishing when you can strip down to your T-shirt! We were marking fish all morning but couldn't coax any into bitting. So after unsuccessfully trying to catch panfish for a couple of hours, all the while listening to Averie say "Let's go catch gobies at the rocks Daddy" over and over and over, we caved in and did just that. I have to admit, culling those greasy little things sure beat's catching nothing at all. So by noon we caught enough Gobies to satisfy the itch and went home for lunch! Heading down to Deer Creek reservoir.... The waiting game.. Averie learning how to read the Humminbird - mounted to a cooler in true OFC style. And our first catch of the day This picture was inspired by Fishin 24/7's Pike shot from a couple days ago! lol I think this was a personal best for averie... Fishin' in my t-shirt...awesome Another fine catch! haha Always have a bucket to keep the kids happy! And what better way to end an awesome couple of hours out with the kid? mmmmmm Spring is knocking at our doorsteps! A first attempt a embedding a video Hope you enjoyed our little report. Next time you hear from us it will be from the boat, and won't involve catching gobies! Cheers, Ryan & Averie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Urban Fisherman Posted March 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Nice report Ryan, the kid is the Gobi master it seems! Thanks for sharing, MTBF She might be the panfish master if her old man was any good at catching them through the ice in that lake! I don't want her to lose interest in fishing so I always take time to make sure she catches something...and boy do we have the gobies dialed in through the ice!

Hmmmmmm.............does that Labbat's Blue taste better after being barbequed??? I got's to get me a pink rod and reel methinks, they seems to attract fish of any species. I can use all the help I can get. haha the Blue being on the Q was for creative reasons only...I like my beer near freezing cold... And as for the pink rod, don't kid yourself, I use it myself when Averie isn't with me! Nice Report Ryan! Went out on the bay yesterday and came back in after I drilled a hole and found out how thick the ice was Only a few more weeks before I'm out on the boat! Thanks Dano - I heard the ice out on the bay is sketchy at best. DC still had a good 12 inches of ice, with some crusty stuff on top and some skinny ice around old holes.... but by the time I get to go out fishing again the bay should be wide open, so ice fishing will take a back seat to open water fishing t'il next december! her reactions in the video are as sweet as she is ....nice job....!!!!!!!!! ....i actually laughed out loud.... where else but in canada can you fish in a t shirt and warm your beer up on the BBQ Thanks Twocoda - She is a rockin' kid when it comes to fishing, but she sure can be rotten at times just like any other 3 year old! Again... Though I'll drink whatever beer is available to me, that blue was only on the Q for the picture... Great report, pics and video Ryan A gobie report with Averie YESSSSSSS I love it High five to the best fisherman..... and a big congrats That's what fishing is all about.... quality time spent with the kids Again great job Averie & Ryan and thanks for sharing Jacques Thanks Again Jacques! You're comments are always to nice! By the way, take a guess what we used for bait? Them Gobies can't get enough of that gulp Fish Fry! I'll take Gobies with Averie over Big fish without her any day!
