misfish Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 The fresh scent of cucumber was a nice change today. The stink of those pesky herring were starting to realy make my grabbing glove stink. LOL Today was the day to try an old haunt that I use to get whitefish. I even bought a new jig,that was pretty close to the green monster (color wise) I have not been able to find in a few years. That jig was a white fish magnet.. Came across this little gem. It,s not a Rapala. It cost me $3 I bought two.LOL As I watch it decend to the depths,I pause it at the 40 ft mark,50 and 60. As I just start to let it drop from the 60,this line barrels from 75 fow. It makes a bee to the jig. I stopped it,line is on it and wham. That was so cool to see. The battle is on. It was a fat whitie. It was bigger then I like to keep. As I dont freeze my fish. Cook fresh that day and would of been to much for the mrs,s and I.. So a quick pic,and back down the hole she went. Ahh the scent of cucumber. I love it. Oh ya,it,s a slush pit out there. Some areas there was over a foot. Dam work out I could use though.
kickingfrog Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 Nice. I'm going to wait for things to freeze up again before I head out.
davey buoy Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 Nice little jig,hook out each end?Congrats on the whitie B !!!!!I can see more money being spent lol.
misfish Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Posted January 12, 2014 The hooks are almost like the nils. Oh,and there aint no more of them. Tom only had a few,and they sold out fast. Did I mention it was windy out there today? I hate wind,even in 0 temps. Decided to put the hub up. it was tricky. It almost got away from me. If it did,it would of made it,s way to Pefferlaw.LOL After I got the first screw anchor in,then the second,it was COMFORTABLE.

irishfield Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 Trim that blood line and fat line and it tastes like any other fish.
Joey Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 Nice going B. Must have been a sloppy mess out there today. Kept us away. Hopefully it'll freeze up by next weekend.
Fisherman Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 So I'm not the only one that thinks their smell is a bit like cucumber
