irishfield Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 When I loaded my sled into the trailer last Friday...this wasn't exactly where I expected to unload it to go fishing.. but when push comes to shove the laneway at home will do just fine. I'd scouted out a spot a couple days ago to access the lake and a plan was put together. Terry and GBFisher would be at my house for 7:30 am.. now to wake up that early! LOL Waiting for them to arrive and load Andy's gear. 2 KM road run and out onto the lake. We hit the lake running from the access... as we'd received 11" of fresh snow yesterday and I could see the sag in the ice knowing it would be slush.. and it was.. pinned to the handlebar and Andy holdin on for dear life... Terry right behind me. We continued pegged to the bar for quite some time.. I thought we were in slush the whole way since we had no speed, but couldn't figure out why Terry was following right behind. Turned out it was just 2++ feet of deep snow with minimal slush in the bottom and I was making Terry a path, but it was taking EVERYTHING my 500 had to keep moving forward. We continued to stay pegged to the bar for quite some time... and when we finally hit some hard pack I stopped and said we're fishing here! It worked.. Terry got first blood! I had a hard hit and miss and then Andy set the hook in his hole (we was sharin a hut). Nice pickeral.. but in the darn slot. Sad to send them packing DOA.. Me up next.. slam... nice little Herring.. swallowed the hook hard and I kept him for supper. And from the same spot.. Andy says.. that doesn't feel like a pickeral.. feels like a Whitefish.. man this guy fishes toooo often!! .. and my Team 3 entry for the day... a nice keeper 23.5" Pickeraleye.. DOA anyhow. What a beautiful day to get out on Georgian Bay.. it's in my own back yard and I rarely get there anymore. 4 species.. from one spot! Cant' beat that or the company I had today! Thanks guys!

Leecher Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 Great report and pics Guys Sounds like fun Not a bad looking walleye Wayne for a first eh Congrats on the beauty I went out to a local to me lake this afternoon (15 minutes ride by car) thinking I would wet hardware and to my disbelief..... was walking into a foot of snow, thin layer of ice on top, 6" of water on top of 14" of ice I doubled back home in no time not worth it Tomorrow is a whole different ball game.... targeting familiar grounds Thanks for sharing Leechman
Rod Caster Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 What a waste of walleye...but the regs are the rules. Otherwise, nice fish boys!! As if anybody can tell the difference between a herring and a whitefish on the line. hahah

Grimace Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 Right on. Nice fish. Stuffing dead fish down the hole sucks but it is what you have to do.
EC1 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 Nice stuff Gentlemen! To know that it feels like a whitie before you get a chance to see it?! AWESOME.
Guest gbfisher Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 "License and registration please......lick me!"....hahahaha That Micro Mini cam was cool with the color HD recorder. Thanks for the day Gentlemen.
irishfield Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) Had the Herring for lunch today.. I just filleted it like any other fish.. coated it with TJ's secret coating and threw them in hot oil. Not sure why anyone turns their nose up at these or pickles them.... tasted like most any other fish. Wish I'd caught a few more.... Edited February 12, 2011 by irishfield
misfish Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 "License and registration please......lick me!"....hahahaha I wouldnt expect anything different Andy, from you. Laughed my butt off when I heard that.
johnnyb Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 Very nice....and you got out before the insane wind of today....I like that 23.5" eye
