chris.brock Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Guy's weekend at the cotttage turned into 2 guys and a kid's weekend at the cottage. The city slickers didn't want to drive in the snow. We drove up on Friday morning. A little slow, but not too bad. Most people stayed home and off the highways. On Saturday, we decided to hit the lake I had done the previous weekend, looking for splake. To avoid bushwacking, we skirted an area with moving water. My track broke through a little. Matt's sled, with alot more power than the Bravo, just hit the gas. This pic was taken on the trip out. Some snowshoeing required The Bravo loaded up, lots of powder snow A nice, sunny day, very little wind, pretty with the fresh snow splake Ryan's first fish through the ice Matt with a splake Ryan taking a break from fishing watching the tip-ups we landed 8 fish, kept 1 that was hooked bad, the weather was deceptively cold, our holes kept freezing, we were a little lazy and didn't trudge through the deep snow to check our tip-ups, often when we checked, the hole was frozen and the minnow was gone, I think we likely missed 5 bites We all had a great day, the Leafs beating the Habs 6-0 later, was just a perfect topper Edited February 12, 2013 by chris.brock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Awesome! More big splake. I haven't been out for trout in weeks, it's been hard to justify the extra gas with nipissing on fire right on my doorstep, but change is in order. I hear ya about being a little lazy with line checking. I tend to get content just sitting around the fire Edited February 12, 2013 by Joeytier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
