Recommended Posts

WooHoo!! Very very nice! You went for it and what a beauty pay off!!

 

I had the same "why bother" attitude today and I am ashamed to admit....I fell for it. Stayed home,packed away the ice gear and reorganized the soft water stuff.....should have went fishing :wallbash: :wallbash:

 

bly

 

Truth be told,

 

I was there 20 min. and that was the last cast.........

Nice job!!! It's great to see your TO pike posts again...I missed them!!!! Maybe if the pike are back in the shallows there, they are back in my neck of the woods. I'll have to get out soon though!!! Great work Snag...and yes, I cant bring myself to call you Snog yet...LOL

 

I bet they are there, but heck, you may catch a monster walleye by accident...........

But Walleye are out of season....I would hope I didnt catch one!! :angel: We release everything we catch anyways. We'll get out there again soon I hope. Great pike there Snag...beats my PB in weight by over 50%.... :worthy: LOL. We find that when the Pike are in, the Walleye are not...so not too much risk in accidental catch there. :)

Good job snag man! The Master Pike fisherman is back. Great looking fish. They do tend to like getting revenge on your fingers though :lol:

 

So tell me, is your camera set up on a tripod for these great self portraits? If so is it set up ready before you even catch the fish or do you have to scramble around once the fish is landed? Always wondered... they seem such well composed shots, and would like to give the self portrait with fish shot a go one day, even if the pike I catch are 1/5th the size :D

 

Thanks for sharing. Itching to get out there.

The routine is:

 

Fish on,

Camera out.

Remove hook

Take pic

Release.

 

Repeat

 

 

Luckily, there was a mooring post with a flat top to put the camera on.

Thought you ate the last 4 you caught.

My mistake, you sold them in Kensington Market.

 

Dang memory!

Hey snog you have a PM.

 

I know.

I saw it.

 

You have to follow the etiquette here.

 

Introduce yourself to the board.

 

and don't ever ask me where I fish.

I don't respond to PMs like that and people here do find it offensive.

 

Toronto is small, explore.

Eventually we'll meet.

 

Welcome aboard

Try the islands.

 

All the channels were iced over at the islands as of March 21st (yesterday).

One islander i spoke to yesterday said there is still up to 8 inches of ice in main channels.

Could be gone by this weekend however!

 

Remember pike season closes as of end of March 31 st. till May 5th.

 

cheers,

Dude, Pike fear you as Steelie's fear CC! Thanks for the report!

 

ps. whats with the name....snog?

 

Cheers,

Urbano

 

Good question.

 

Answer:

 

Good Grammar,

 

Snog is the proper British pronounciation of "Snag"

 

Snogging is a preferred British pastime.
