Nipfisher Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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.

Joeytier Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAW Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share 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!.

Nipfisher Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAW Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
