icefisherman Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) Another one of those "unusual" days...started early enough about 8:30am...but wasted the first 3 hours in trying to figure out how to get to where we wanted to go with all the new pressure cracks that were like small mountains in places....all new and very dangerous...be very careful guys...stay away and don't even think of jumping them yet...very fresh ice....often less then 24 hrs, partially floated uneven on both sides...in brief full of potential troubles...must have put over 60 km on the car today from driving on the ice and around the ice and back on again....what a mess the lake has quickly become....oh well...lucky whities...but not lucky enough to escape us.... with both kids in tow (3 and 6) and Chuck as a guide....we did manage to find a way to our planned destination...once there we needed two quick moves to find the hungry ones...and once that happened it was business as usual... The stats for the day: 72 fow, Meegs and Williams both worked but I had to really fines my Meegs presentation today as they were very very finicky...and got unusually high number (for me) of whities on Williams ...on the way back....we've struggled again finding the best way in the icebergs slalom out there....stopped quickly for 10 min of perch action for the kids...but kept getting....herrings....so we called the day at that point and head back to shore...in one piece (hard to believe I know;-) All in all one more great day shared with my boys and best friend....and lots of fish ...hey what more can one ask for?!!? Thanks Chuck for the great time, as usual Few shots for your viewing pleasure: Cheers, Ice Fisherman Edited February 25, 2011 by icefisherman

skeeter Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Good report. The kids had fun and fish were caught, what more could you ask for.
BillM Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 At least you don't have to worry about ice thickness out there! lol Great fish!
limeyangler Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Great report! Love to see the young 'uns out there.
hawk-eye Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Thanks for the report. Looks like a few nice slabs of meat.
mercman Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Nice !!! I have pictures of me and my brother that looks just like that.Dad loved takin us fishing. Enjoy the days like this, and thanks for sharing with me.
perchslayer666 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Nice, were you using the Quick Draw rig?
solopaddler Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Great stuff Emil, very nice to see.
Chuck Best Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Sure was alot of rig-a-ma-roll,just to cross a crack,but man that crack is a long one.We eventually found that the crack runs from Paradice beach ,up the east side off Snake and Fox Islands,where it moves a little west ,but continues right up to BBP.Sure hope there's some adventurous guys out there today and find(or make)a decent crossing.Was decent weather ,but a chilling wind,but hey,who's really noticing when there's fish around...lol...Sure hope we can find them again on Saturday....TC and tight lines....Chuck...
