muskymatt Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Did the double lake outing today. Rainbows in the morning, Walleye at dusk! Got 9 Rainbows but only one keeper, the action was steady but only little ones were biting for the most part. Picked up a Fenwick ice rod, med-heavy and put a Rapala R-Type on it with 6lb ice line. Worked like a charm! 2nd lake was walleye, got 3 smaller ones during the day and surprisingly the night bite was non existent. Never had that spot not have a really insane night bite before, wonder why! Was also the first run on a skidoo I picked up, a 470 BRP Safari, 1992 but in excellent shape. Good enough to get me in to the back lakes and out again. Pretty much all I will be using it for. Nice day out except for the rain that started around 1:30 and lasted for about 4 hrs. Going to have a frozen solid Frabill hut in the morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Good job! What were you using for the rainbows? I'm always curious since my winter success has been limited for them... That sounds like a nice sled. Those 470 liquids were really fast motors, could wipe the floor with 500 and 550 fanners, lets see a pic! I just got my 90 Safari 377 rebuilt, love it!

chris.brock Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Sounds like a great way to spend the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muskymatt Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 It was well maintained, runs awesome. I'm going to baby it as it's only a one purpose machine....in and out of the back lakes. I have a Frabill 2 man hut with a tow bar and it follows along quite nicely.

muskymatt Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 For rainbows on this particular lake I was using a bait hook, small not sure which size with a 2'-2.5" red dace minnow. I have a splitshot about 12" above the minnow which is hooked parallel to the spinal cord mid way on the back. I also use a white scented micro jig which works well.
