BillM Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Last winter I stumbled upon a deadly jigging technique for lakers and I'm ready to unleash it ASAP! It involves jumping as high as you can while you make a big upward sweep of the rod (the longer the better). I don't think I actually caught a fish with that technique, but it quickly scared off all the people that tried to park themselves right next to me Kempenfelt Bay was crazy last year, I don't want a repeat of that zoo ever again.

MJL Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Guys were getting greased out on what little ice there was last year on Simcoe.. Complete madness. Indeed. You know it’s bad when you can see the other angler’s lure on your sonar If this year is the same as last, I may invest in a bunch of wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube men to surround myself with and make the appearance that I’ve already been greased out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got snow last night....same night the lake locked up Oh well.....looking forward to your reports Chad. It might be a slushy start for you then. NBay: -10 last night with fair winds and no snow, -8 right now with no snow Boots are Cabelas Saskatchewan Pac Boots....they are actually on sale right now. I've had them for over 4 years and would recommend them for any outdoor activity where you stand in one location for any period of time. Walking....not as good.

As for boots.....I have a 3 year old pair of Sorels...never had cold feet...like yours awkward to walk in...but standing by your line for a few hours andthey are wicked warm.

Rod Caster Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 That's right...the new sled. Not sure I'd be thinking about fishing with that beast on the way It's either a very small walleye lake or a small splake lake for my starter. Already got plans in motion with JoeyTier.

I'm looking at my packed up Eskimo in the sleigh and wondering where the hell I'm gonna put it inside the condo in the winter. My 2 man sits in the minivan once ice season starts. At that moment the vehicle becomes a 2 seater til I put the hut back on storage, I'm nowhere near ready for ice fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adolson Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I am working on making a second rig so that I will have two rods and two stationary rigs - enough for two people, so I can go with a friend or family member who doesn't have their own gear but would like to fish with me. The second stationary rig will come in handy on the colder days when I get too lazy to jig. My rig is not really a traditional tip-up. Or maybe it is - I don't know much about ice fishing gear, really. But I love it. It's a hockey stick, a tip end from a 2-piece fishing rod, and an HT electronic spool/reel that beeps and flashes an LED when line is taken out, so you know if you get a bite without having to keep your eye on it every second. It worked very well for brookies last season. My gear is pretty much ready. I'm not sure how much I'll be out this year though. I thought I would be out all the time, but now, I still care about fishing, but I don't want to miss anything with my son. I will definitely hit the ice a few times. Gotta get me some trout. Hmm, if I bundle him up warm and take him, can I put four lines in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nipfisher Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 All my gear is up at the cottage. Ice hut construction has begun. Sled fired up. Need to find a replacement charging cable for the x67c - seems to have vanished. There was a skim of ice along the shore of Scugog yesterday morning. Thought you built a new hut last year?

Bassassins Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 We are sooo pumped for ice season - its my first one ... The "list" of stuff I need is getting smaller Just need to figure out where the ice hits first around Ottawa! I have lots to learn and in a short period of time.
