walleye suppers again!

[limeyangler]

Hi all,

 

Snuck out to the spot we hit on Sunday. No whitefish today, i did see a couple on the x67, they chased but would not commit. However, where the whitefish were scarce the walleye took up the slack. I'm gonna promise myself to re-tie my fluro leaders with the correct knot in futeure...i lost 2 monster walleye right at the hole today, one was close to 30" for sure! bummer. Mind you i dont think i would have kept it, even though i needed just one for my limit, three keeper size is enough for the wife and me, i just would have liked the picture!

 

Here's the pics and vid.....i fished for exactly 2 hours, started slow but as the sun set, the fish turned on......was an awesome sunset on another chilly (-26) afternoon.

Simon, did I say "I hate you" today? if not make a note... Good job out there.

[ctranter]

This is one hell of a tease... nice eyes

[Twocoda]

yes Simon ....nice eyes....shame about the boots,coats.gloves and all that white crap around you though ...

 

from my hot hands holding cold drinks...to your frozen hands yearning for warm drinks...

and vicariously through your lens...i applaud you

[discophish]

Amazing take on your day Simon! You sure are dangling a lot of carrots these days! Were these fish shallow? You mentioned 6fow. I'm going to try again this year for the shallow whitefish. I didn't have any luck with it last year. Good luck on your next outing. 3rd time is a charm with your next big eye since you have already passed the 2nd!

[Rod Caster]

Why Simon? Why?

 

You sure are maximizing your ice fishing time! I like your drive.

 

I use a Trilene knot sometimes for fluorocarbon...seems to hold quite well.

Ahhh...i've seen these symptoms before, its the beginnings of a breakdown of denial, you'll be out there drilling holes soon .

Sorry Disco....i'm not in the swing of the icefishing reports just yet, your right...i'm being vague to say the least, the fish were at 20' to 25' FOW. Its a pretty much flat muddy bay....a nice drop off from the shore provides the only real 'structure', we just fished there because of being uncertain of ice thickness elsewhere on the lake, as the good spots are too far to walk out to. White jigs and tail hooked minnows were the ticket, although i did get a hit from a whitiefish on a Yum mini tube and hooked a pike on the same lure as seen in the picture.

Don't forget the measureoonie lol. Great report as usual.

[Smarty Pantz]

Wow, very nice!!! Congratz!!!!

 

I must say I'm jealous haha!

[Leecher]

Great report, pics and video Simon

Got to love spending a couple of hours on the hard stuff and getting a limit of eyes and that 24"er was a beaut

Too bad about losing the big ones at the hole would of been nice to see the pic of it *cough* uni knot *cough cough*

 

p.s. do you always leave your pack of cigs on the ice near the hole while fishing

Again great job and thanks for sharing

This is getting excessive!! Bordering on cruel and unusual!!! The only thing keeping me sane while watching....is that I'm hitting the ice this weekend!!! I'm working on my Limey accent...figure I gotta put as many odds in my favour for the ice-eyes

[lunkerbasshunter]

Cheers!

Wow, very nice!!! Congratz!!!!

 

I must say I'm jealous haha!

 

Not long for you guys now Smarty Pantz....looking forward to your ice reports, for someone as addicted to fishing as you(a very healthy addiction i might add) i imagine they are gonna be good.
