Rod Caster Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 A friend and I put in an evening fish on Nosbonsing tonight and caught four nice eater walleyes We also missed two huge, unidentified fish. He had his on for about a minute, as it just held bottom, gave some head shakes and then the hook slipped. I don't know how he missed it since he set the hook three times... dull hooks maybe, or maybe he hooked it in soft flesh. My big one was a log as I set the hook, but it slipped pretty much immediately. Oh well... I'm all smiles at catching my first good feed of walleye for the ice season at a new spot. Can't wait for Nipissing to have over 12" of ice so I can hit my regular spots. I hope others are enjoying the recent cold spell too. Sorry no pics, my hands got cold quick after scooping the minnows with my hands. I forgot a bucket and dip net. Fish on to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Caster Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Forgot to ask. Were ya trolling, or jigging Chad? All vertical. 7 inches of ice. We treaded lightly and followed the shoreline, but the ice in our spot was safe for walking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to go tomorrow as well, but I have plans for dinner. We used shiners. Nipfisher knows where we were... just look for our drill holes.
