kickingfrog Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Up a 3am. On the road with my brother by 4am. Meet our buddy at 7am. Holes drilled and lines in the water by 7:30am. Nice fresh morning: Moved around the first spot, only marked a few fish, and my brother was the only one to hook-up before lunch: Headed in to a small town dinner in Desironto ($45 that the town of Innisfil will never see, plus 2 tanks of gas and gatoraid $140) and stoked the furnace for the afternoon. Lunch for 3 guys, and I'm the smallest one by at least 80lbs: onion rings, burger and fries, poutine, toasted western omelette with extra toast and sausage, 2 bowls of potato soup and fish and chips. Head out to our buddies second spot, and we're fishing by 2pm. Set up a special tip-up at afternoon location. Although set lines produced no fish for us. Mark a lot more fish but can't get them to commit until I switch to a jigging rap after 4pm. First fish that shows after switching I stop jiggin', pause and then give it a quiver and BAM. Nice solid fish. 20 minutes later I got 2 more walleye around 2lbs and that was it except for some perch. Long drive back to Barrie in a snow storm. in bed by midnight.
Terry Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 you have got to love a 21 hour day all in the name of fishing nice to see you got some walleye
I'mHooked Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Wow, long day & cold too! Nice lookin' eye there! Going in the frying pan or swimming another day?
mercman Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 I stand in the presence of a true fish hunter.Excellent report.
Leecher Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Great report, fish and pics Rob I thought I had recognized that set line Great to see that you are putting it to good use Very nice walleye on the last pic Thanks for sharing Jacques

Spiel Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Nice fresh morning I've heard those types of mornings called many things Rob, but fresh is a new one. Glad to see you had a decent day out.
Fish Farmer Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Thanks for sharing, I gots to get down there for a 2 day'er. Man after my own heart, putting in a good day of fishin. Some guys just fish for a couple hours and go home to watch Judge Judy or the Maple Leafs play Perseverance, pays off
Joey Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Wow, that sure was a long day out there, but worth it for that beauty Rob!
danc Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Nice report Rob. I don't know which I enjoyed most. The Walleye pics or the lunch menu.
solopaddler Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Well done Rob, perseverence pays off!
Rod Caster Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Big day, big fish, big lunch....who needs sleep?
kickingfrog Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Posted January 23, 2011 Wow, long day & cold too! Nice lookin' eye there! Going in the frying pan or swimming another day? The "big" one went right back down the hole that's way I didn't get a messure or a weight, although I should have at least eye balled it against the rod which is 32 inches. The 2 smaller fish and a couple of perch were eaten today for lunch. My wife and our 2 year old son may like fresh fish even more than me. Great report, fish and pics Rob I thought I had recognized that set line Great to see that you are putting it to good use Very nice walleye on the last pic Thanks for sharing Jacques They'll get some more use soon. Big day, big fish, big lunch....who needs sleep? Me, that's who.
Leecher Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) .... They'll get some more use soon. ...... Awesome Dude Rob, just an observation, next time make sure you have the spool pointing down ward.... meaning the top should be flipped Just like in the next pic Edited January 23, 2011 by Leechman
