lickmyarmpit Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I couldn't agree more even though I'm going ice fishing this weekend. I got a new toy and can't wait to get out in her.....bring on the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucG Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I feel ya! As much as I love ice fishing, and winter in general, I've had enough and can't wait for open water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Caster Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Luc, you disapoint me I think there's a half million dollar two bedroom bungalow in Vaughn calling your name. Buck up boys, lots of ice and time left. Use your imagination...and I'm not talking about switching from a white to a chartreuse spinnerbait.

Something about staring down a small hole in the ice doesn't do much for me. That said, I'm going to entertain myself with some perch on Sunday and Simcoe lakers on monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 When I opened this thread a memory popped into my head of a day prefishing for a T with my late Dad. We were in an area that had big fish written all over it... I flipped in and I saw her turn on the jig. I would of shook her off but I knew my Dad would of loved to see a nice fish. He took this pic with an old 35mm a few years ago...probably 12 or so now. Funny how I used to remember the day for the size of fish that were caught, now I could careless about that.

SlowPoke Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Bass season? Wow, you guys are patient. I will have been fishing soft water for two and a half months before you're on the water.... Just six more weeks and the boat and truck comes out of storage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scugog Never to early to think BASS! Great story! Most of my best fishin' memories are with the old man as well. The bass in the picture I posted was taken on the last day of a very tough week. On the water for 5 days in the worst weather imaginable, catching small bass here and there and freezing to the bone. The last day the weather finally broke, and that one took a white spinnerbait crashed into the shore in about 1FOW. It was on my line, but I think my old man might have been more excited than I was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acountdeleted Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Waaaay too soon. I love bass, probably my favourite fish. I love the way they look, the fight, the way they hit. The ease or difficulty of hooking into them depending on the day. ....... But right now the lake trout are calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCTFisher9120 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) It's been a little while since the end of last September when I was chasing largies, can't wait to get out on opener in June. Booked a cottage for a solid week starting on opening day should be a blast. Always look forward to the annual August camping trip, were doing a 2 week trip this summer. Hope to catch a few monsters this summer! And Another 120 days left Edited February 15, 2013 by MikeTheBassFisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lickmyarmpit Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Beauty boat. What are you powering her with? Got a name for the rig yet? thanks man she's got a 90 merc 4 stroke, I'm thinking of calling her ''my dirty oar '' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Caster Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Something about staring down a small hole in the ice doesn't do much for me. If I see a guy staring down a hole for an extended period of time I check to see if he didn't accidentally drown himself, and if he's ok, I stick a perch in his pocket.

lickmyarmpit Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 That's a great motor, your gonna be very happy with it !! sweet ,do you think I'll need a kicker or should I be able to troll with it as long as its not regularly and for too long? Can't wait to hit some bigger lakes been confined to the smaller stuff with my old rig for wayyyyyyy to long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 sweet ,do you think I'll need a kicker or should I be able to troll with it as long as its not regularly and for too long? Don't worry about trolling too long with the 4 stroke, you'll be able to go all day and when you hit the throttle it'll be instant response, unlike a 2 stroke that can bog down after awhile. I don't know what trolling speeds you'll be looking for but if you want to slow way down you can always drag a drift sock or something similar. Mine would get down to around 2 1/2 MPH but that was about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will always benefit from a kicker motor... - auxiliary power source. - more precise low speed control. - reduces wear/maintenance on your main motor. Your main motor being a four stroke should have no issue with extended periods of idling/trolling but may suffer a little in the speed control department.

bdox Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I am going trophy hunting on Quinte this weekend, and after walleye closes on Quinte I'll be counting down the days until bass opener. I got these on my last 3 days of bass fishing last year, 2 in 1 day. We'll be on this lake for a week starting on opener.
