A Hard Day on the Ice

[DRIFTER_016]

T'was a tough day for me today with the fishies not cooperating at all. :-\

I had fish under me all day but while they would look they would not commit.

Damn, you dasturdly whitefish!!!!

At one point the bottom 9' was lit up like a Christmas tree but they just wouldn't hit.

I ended up with just 2 hits the entire time and none hooked or landed.

Time to go piking to get my groove one tomorrow.

Here's a couple of shots.

 

The morning sun rising in the South (yes it rises in the South and sets in the West in the winter up here).

 

 

My LX-5 all lit up for the season!!!

 

 

Oh, ice thickness was close to 24" and pure black!!!

Hey Dave... I think you should stick with pike I saw your other report and those were nice gators At least you have safe ice

 

Question: Are you stuck using barbless hook in the north west territories?

No obvious reason I ask, just curious?

[DRIFTER_016]

Yep, it's all barbless and no live bait.

Yep, it's all barbless and no live bait.

 

Ah I see... thanks for the info Dave Must be frustrating at times to fight a fish a long time, only to see it spit the hook at the very last moment
