BFSC Kevin Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 Hey gang, So for the first trip of 2015, I decided to hit up Lake Couch for some perch action. I bumped into a couple fellas at the lake access who were at Lake St. John earlier and stated the ice was still sketchy over there. After the quick chat, my buddy and I headed out and made our way to about 20 FOW and got into the fish right away. We got plenty of fish in the 10-12" range and kept a few for the dinner table. Enjoy.
manitoubass2 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 awesome! you guys have a great set up? great watch thanks!!!
Hooked Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 Great video once again, that looked like fun, minus the lugging of the equipment. Btw, I really like that portable fish finder setup, is that a custom build? Or did it come that way? Would like to make the exact same setup as that. Any info would be appreciated. Your other video's on your channel are cool too.
Acountdeleted Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 Great catch! Chris K and I were there too yesterday in about 7 FOW. lots of 5 inchers and enough in the 8-9 inch range for a small snack. Was still a great day.
bare foot wader Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 cool video, looks like an awesome day
Jds63 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 great job on the video, that must have taken a lot of editing and a few cameras ....
Gerritt Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 Very cool video... I'm more and more impressed every time you post one. I'm not sure if it's the camara angle or not.... But that hut looks like a mansion! Especially the inside shots. What a great day of fishing guys. As do St. John, where did you check on the ice? Usually St john freezes up before the cooch G
gkasko Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 Wow great first trip of 2015. How thick is the ice at Couchiching? Cool video, by the way.
BFSC Kevin Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Posted January 7, 2015 Thanks all for the kind words. Great video once again, that looked like fun, minus the lugging of the equipment. Btw, I really like that portable fish finder setup, is that a custom build? Or did it come that way? Would like to make the exact same setup as that. Any info would be appreciated. Your other video's on your channel are cool too. The portable fish finder was a mod I did myself. This lowrance unit is from my boat but I use for ice fishing during the hard water times. I guess I could make a video of how I have it set up. great job on the video, that must have taken a lot of editing and a few cameras .... I did bring a few cameras to shoot this. And it did take several hours to go through all the footage and edit it. Very cool video... I'm more and more impressed every time you post one.I'm not sure if it's the camara angle or not.... But that hut looks like a mansion! Especially the inside shots.What a great day of fishing guys.As do St. John, where did you check on the ice? Usually St john freezes up before the coochG Having a 6 man hut is pretty spacious but it is a bit heavier and cost more to heat up. I didn't check out St John myself, it was the guys I bumped into at Couch that told me that. Wow great first trip of 2015. How thick is the ice at Couchiching? Cool video, by the way. Ice was at least 6" where I was.
chris.brock Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 The time editing was worth it, your videos are awesome, keep them coming, very cool!
NAW Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Great video man. Way way way to much set up for me though.... I would much rather open hole it. Specially early in the season. Gotta get your paws used to the cold!!! I guess it all in the name of a good video though, so well worth it! Keeps the videos coming!!!
tbayboy Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Great job guys. Excuse me while I start charging batteries for the weekend!

It's an excellent setup and will suit me perfectly when I pick up my Helix 5 this spring. Thanks. Edited January 8, 2015 by Hooked
turtle Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Great video & set-up on the ice. Got to like big perch hitting agressively on big baits.
Headhunter Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it! I stopped fishin Couch a few years ago, as I found that most if not all the perch I was catching, were wormy. Did you happen to find this as well or were those perch pretty clean? Again, thanks for posting! HH
FrankTheRabbit Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 awesome video! Looked like a good work out with all the hiking and setting up! Two best buds till the end. hah

Again, thanks for posting! HH I didn't keep any perch myself, it was the buddy that came along that took all the perch. I have seen/heard reports of there being grubs in them this ice season. awesome video! Looked like a good work out with all the hiking and setting up! Two best buds till the end. hah YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO COME! told you to come!
misfish Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Finally get to give the new FUEL, a work out this weekend. Love the vid.
Christopheraaron Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Good stuff man! How are those spring bobbers treating ya?
Old Ironmaker Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) It is nice to be young and talented. Now I know why the old timers way back when invited us to ice fish with them, drill the many holes for them with manual augers and set up the old Army tent. My 1st ever ice trip was on Couch. Ever thought about getting a few sled dogs? Don't want to sound like a broken record but cool video guys, keep up the great work. I have to say you guys sure fit a lot of equipment into that little red SUV you drive. Edited January 10, 2015 by Old Ironmaker
