Leecher Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Today, Paul and I had plan to target rainbows on the same lake I got my PB last Sunday Here's the link for those that missed it: My Previous Report Weather wise, we couldn't ask for anything better... Temp when I got up was -4C, 93% humidity and no wind... PERFECT But a mystery guest (with to young ones) made his way from South Western Ontario (more specifically Hamilton area) to join us and I couldn't wait to meet him After many PM's between the two of us the last 3 - 4 weeks, he finally arrived Friday morning On my way home from work, stopped by the motel he was staying and met him in person Man was I ever glad to shake his hand and finally meet him face to face It was funny, when we started talking, it was like I've known him for the longest time even though I only known him online from this board We talked for a bit over an adult beverage and discussed the details of what Paul and I had planned Saturday, 7h00am was the time planned to leave but some unforeseen delays had us leave around 7h30am or so We got to destination in almost a record time and met 2 other guys (Dan & friend, can't remember his name sorry ) Upon arriving, Paul got to business and punched 20 holes and we all got setup We dropped our offerings down and got to work Dead sticking Salties & dew worms, jigging a variety of spoons tipped with a variety of Gulp products Unfortunately, there was no bite in the first few hours so Paul decided to punch more holes to see if he could locate any fish... Paul got a few perch in deeper waters and so is Dan and his friend Here's a shot of Paul jigging OFC member Vinnimon with his youngest daughter Vince's oldest daughter Unfortunately for us, trout had lock jaw and got skunked today A snow storm had rolled in in the afternoon and we left around 2h00pm cutting our stay short Wish we could of got into a few for Vince sake but wasn't meant to be All in all was a great time on the ice!!! Until next time Tight lines Leechman P.S. Vince, was awesome to finally shake your hand and meet you in person Had a blast today sharing the ice with you even though trout had lock jaw... wish you a safe trip back home and thanks for a wonderful day Edited January 29, 2012 by Leechman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motion Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) No where right now Jacques. Just thinking of how nice it would be to someday hook-up with you for some ice fishing. Maybe my son Alexander could put on a "clinic" for us like he did in yesterday's GTG on Lake Nippising. Edited January 29, 2012 by motion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
