dheitzner Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Out in one of Rob Hyatt's bungalows for a yearly trip, and had great success on the ice. Mixed bag of fish, including ling, pike, herring, more jumbo perch than I have seen on Nipissing before, and of course a good number of walleye(had to be at least 15 keepers). The guys in the hut next to us were putting the hurt on them pretty good as well. Buckshots, Swedish Pimples, jig w minnow and Nip rigs all produced for us Great service from Rob and his staff (as always) and the bungalow was full value. If Simcoe doesn't cooperate soon, we will likely be heading back to stay @ "Bigwater"! www.robhyattoutdoors.com Darcy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rousseau Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I'm curious... How many walleye per day per person...? How big is a "keeper"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dheitzner Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 4 walleye catch/possesion limit with a sport license, 2 with a conservation license. On Nipissing, "keepers" are under 40cm and I believe you're allowed one over 60cm, but in our case, all were under the slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rousseau Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I meant how many did you catch per day per person??? Sorry I worded it wrong... I've always wanted to do a trip but I'm really curious about how many walleye each person gets per day... Aprox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAW Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Right on. Reports like this are getting my pumped for the Nip G2G! Any pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdve23rveavwa Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Nice going, the better half and I will be up there at this time next week. Sounds like you guys had the best of both worlds...variety and numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dheitzner Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) Sorry, no pics:( Mike, some of our group fish hard and others not so much, but if you are a decent ice angler you should be able to put some on the ice. We likely average around a 8-12 fish/day/person(walleye, pike, herring and ling, perch not incl.) A flasher or sonar is a big help. Fishing out of a bungalow can definitely be hit or miss, but we have consistently done well in Robs location, throughout the season. In general, I prefer the run and gun approach but it is a good weekend on the ice with friends. A couple of us will likely go back later in the season with the machines, stay in a house, and run around the lake by day.

Nipfisher Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Buckshots, Swedish Pimples, jig w minnow and Nip rigs all produced for us Darcy What colours worked best today for you? How deep does Rob have his shacks? Is a Nip rig a red/white jig with a trailer hook? We were out setting up the hut today. No jigging for us but we managed 1 pike, 1 perch, and 1 keeper walleye in 2.5 hrs. I sent you a P.M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dheitzner Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Seems that the usual colors (gold, green, orange) worked best in no particular order. The shacks that we were in or near were in 20-22fow. When I say Nip rig, I am talking about a Nipissing tip up with a split shot, single hook and minnow...

That set up is all we ever use unless jigging. Summer time lots of guys use 1/2 red 1/2 white jigs with a stinger hook and refer to them as Nipissing rigs.

Rod Caster Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Your making Frankie restless That's a good haul for nipissing. I also prefer deeper water but won't go there till february this year. I used a nipissing rig on nosbonsing yesterday, herein called a nosbonsing rig.
