limeyangler Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 Hi all, Went back to my whitefish lake with my buddy Al and his kid. Really wanted to get his kid into some fish, but the fish God's were not with us today. The leave your brake engaged on your skidoo and nearly set it on fire god's were smiling on us today though . Anyway, I had plenty of whitefish and a good number of trout come screaming up only not to take the bait, tried loads of different presentations but could get none to commit, none except a nice fat Pike that took a 5" live dace minnow set at 20'FOW in 38'FOW. Was really cool to watch it coming up through the clear ice inside the hut…..released it and she swam away to fight another day.
4x4bassin Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 Yep , cool indeed Simon. Now get back out there and get some lake trout video's

Now get back out there and get some lake trout video's ight have to wait a bit, have to fix the skidoo now, mind you I am headed to Winnepeg to pick up a new toy on Monday…might have some alternative travel options
Rod Caster Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 Nice capture. Your ice is still quite thin.
wormdunker Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 Nice pike. Awesome video watching him swim under the ice.
woodenboater Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 niiiice ! I thought he was going to thrash around coming up the hole. are you gong to bet a large auger for next season
mr blizzard Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 Wow Simon, nice pike, to bad about the sled, easily done, did that with the atv once Whats the new toy ? or can u not let the cat out of the bag yet
Rizzo Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 very cool..I have caught pike through clear ice before too. They looked as big as that one, then when I pulled em thru the hole they were 22 inches. Yours was a beaut
Freshtrax Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 nice i love it then the ice is like that
Old Ironmaker Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) That is a neat thing to watch Simon, I really enjoyed it. Nothing like crystal clear water and seeing the fish do what fish do. Isn't it strange that if it was softwater season and going for pike guys need a medium heavy rod with 15 lb mono to bring in the same fish that you can bring up through the ice with a bendable strand of spaghetti. Thanks mate. There was a Rock n Rolla back in the 70's that lived in Hamilton for a spell that had the same deep voice(almost) with that British accent as do you. Long John Baldry. He played with all the big Rock N Rollas in the day including the Beatles, Elton John, The Stones and Dylan to name a few. Some pretty good company. Edited January 25, 2016 by Old Ironmaker
