Nipfisher Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Posted February 6, 2011 It was super to meet new board members today. At the GTG was: T.J. Randy From Sturgeon Lady Walleye (Shelley) Rodcaster (Chad) and his girlfriend Sara Spud7378 (Kevin) NAW (Nick) Jocko (Hans) and his friend Harv Rides85 (Andrew) Joeytier (Joey) and his friend (joining the board SOON) and myself It was a great day to be out on the lake and although fishing could have been better the bites were fairly constant through the day. We had a snack of fried fish Randy brought his special friend Joeytier caught the only 2 walleyes of the day. and I tried my best to fish like Limeyangler but only managed herring and perch. Congratulations to NAW who took home $15 for the most fish caught. He also one a free nights accomodations in my hut tonight. He texted me and will have a cell phone picture of the 25" HOG walleye he caught tonight around 10pm. It was released. We never did measure the herring but at the end of the day we figure Jocko's friend Harv caught the biggest one. We had a good pike through the hole but it broke off and went back down. Once again, thanks to all who made it out I had a great day.

Matt It would have been great to have you out there today Matt. We'll hook up sometime.
Joeytier Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 I should learn to open my eyes. I had a feeling Nick would pop a good fish out there. Nice shootin
spud7378 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 great to meet everyone yesterday, even know i did only contribute 4 fish all day! thanks again to blair for putting together the day and randy for the cooking! and tj for the great prizes! had a great time!
Muskieman Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 I sure was fun!!!.... Nice meeting everyone... I must apologize for only catching 1 measly Perch , but it was fun anyway. I thought that I took tons of pics but turns out that I took 37 fuzzy 1 second videos Rod Caster, do you have that Artie in the snowsuit picture available.
b.cote Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 Hey guys, Im Brendan, the guy who came out with Joeytier. Saturday was a great day on the ice. Thaks to everyone for coming out and especially to Blair for the top notch hospitality!. It was great to meet everyone! Here are a few pictures from saturday. Joey with his trophy of the day My two fish of the day The hut First time driving on the ice!
Rod Caster Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 I sure was fun!!!.... Nice meeting everyone... I must apologize for only catching 1 measly Perch , but it was fun anyway. I thought that I took tons of pics but turns out that I took 37 fuzzy 1 second videos Rod Caster, do you have that Artie in the snowsuit picture available. Yes I have that photo, I'll post it here in the next...well, soon. Just got home from Loring. Sooooo much fishing in the past 48 hrs and I plan on hitting the shack again tonight. Thanks to Blair and TJ and all the participants! Sarah and I had a great time. I'll post my photos later today. How did the Herring taste and how did you guys cook it???? Very interested in knowing whether they are worth keeping next time. Congrats to Joeytier on the two walleye!!! You spanked everyone hahaha.
kickingfrog Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 Hey guys, glad you got together and got some fish. Being from Nord Bay originally, I would have liked to make it. I wonder if a separate post should be started to post the photos from the day? Some of the other members may not think to check the OP to see photos.
Roy Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 I wonder if a separate post should be started to post the photos from the day? Some of the other members may not think to check the OP to see photos. I edited the subject Rob. Will that help?
Joeytier Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 Rod Caster, I had a few chunks of the herring and was pretty impressed. It's similar in texture to whitefish, just a little more oily and fishy.
TJQ Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 It was great to get out and see everyone!! Ill have some pictures shortly!!
NAW Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) Big thanks to Blair for the excellent hospitality (and the beer) and of course TJ for the awesome swag (currently enjoying my mug). The fishing was good, and the company was even better. Always nice to meet OFC'ers Swag.. I've always wanted some OFC swag.. Big thanks to TJ for dropping that stuff off! And thanks Blair for setting things up, and letting me use the shack for the night. It was great to pull a nice hog through the ice. Measured it at almost 25", and figure it was about 5lbs. Big fat belly. My batteries ran dead on my camera, so I only have 1 decent picture, and that's of me. The nighttime cell phone / flashlight picture of the walleye didn't turn our good at all. I tried to get my foot in there for a comparison.. She looks a little rough, but she swam off strong.. And of coarse the swag!. Edited February 6, 2011 by NAW
Rod Caster Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 Here are my select pics from the G2G. Randy's deer head is FREAKY!!! hahaha Somebody got stuck right at the ice shack...heavy snow drifts everywhere Randy and the shack My GF jigging her heart out. haha Randy getting in touch with the wildlife gods Blair checking his line Me with a hering Again...great times!
BUSTER Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 Really wish i was able to make it, looks like everyone had a blast..
limeyangler Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 and I tried my best to fish like Limeyangler but only managed herring and perch. AWESOME GLOVES BLAIR!!!!!!! fantastic GTG people...love all the pictures...Randy...that deer head is freakin' weird and scary....love it. So many different stories....great read. GOOD TIMES!
Nipfisher Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Posted February 7, 2011 Probably the last post for this thread then we can let it die. I was back out at the hut yesterday from 11:30 - 4:30 and had wayyy too much to drink. I caught 13" walleye and a buddy caught a 22.5" pike. We caught lots of perch but only kept a few for a snack in the hut. No pictures.

Rod Caster Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 Speaking of way to much to drink. If you catch a brand new mag light in that area. let me know.. Bahahaha. Reminds me of the rod holder I lost, the jigging rod I broke, the sweater I forgot on Sat night....Next time I drink and fish I'm bringing NOTHING with me, especially if in the dark.
Jonny Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 And of coarse the swag!. Swag? There was swag? Left too soon I guess. Ah, well, maybe next time. On another note, the Steelers lost. Green Bay's got a great team though, and you gotta love Aaron Rodgers.
Nipfisher Posted February 8, 2011 Author Report Posted February 8, 2011 Speaking of way to much to drink. If you catch a brand new mag light in that area. let me know.. Nick, didn't I tell you to use the head lamp? Which hole did it go down? I may try a big magnet I have.
NAW Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 Nick, didn't I tell you to use the head lamp? Which hole did it go down? I may try a big magnet I have. If you walk straight out the door of the hut, it's the first whole you will come to.. About 20' from the hut..
Jonny Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 Nick, didn't I tell you to use the head lamp? Which hole did it go down? I may try a big magnet I have. Unfortunately, Mag-Lite's are made of aluminum, so that won't work.
Shelley Cooper Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 Hahahah Great stories Guys... I have a few pic's to add too, but I'm still on the road, as soon as I'm home, I'll get them up here... I thought that Herring tasted just like a little white fish... first time I ever tried herring... Thanks again Blair and everyone for a great day...
