Saturday Perchen out of Tim Hale's Huts

[oldphart]

~~~~Got out with 3 of my buddies with Tim Hale's huts we were in depending which end you sat in the hut 33', or 29', great little drop off. Buddy Cuong hooked into a very nice 13' Perch. then I caught it sister, but I had a very light action rod with no back bone, so the Perch was in charged, and it wrapped up all the lines, and just as I was doing my best Pro Bass lift out the line snapped, and I heard of small voice saying I'm Free I'm Free, and she was gone. finished the day with a nice dinner haul each. Ice was 8' and looken to head back up again but will check with Tims first on the ice

I also fished out of Tim Hales huts with a group of buddies Friday & Saturday this past weekend. Friday was better size, numbers & a bonus small whitefish with Saturday slower & smaller fish. No great hauls either day but a good fish fry each night. Two of the group were first timers on the ice and had a good experience, caught & ate fish. Only two herring caught & didn't see any schools go through.

We had a slow but steady bite near you guys. Nothing crazy, but real good size fish. I think we kept 15 between my gf and I, but they were hogs. Our group of 6 had about 70 keepers for the group. I've seen better days, but Im not complaining, we got some real brutes.

70 keepers is nothing to poohoo at Sinker. Thick ice, a warm hut and keepers, that I can handle. Walking out on iffy ice and sitting on a bucket with wind whipping up my arse, nope. I'll leave that to you nut bar die hards. You know who you are Dave and Brian.

The last time I was on Quinte it was a bit over 2" thick, maybe, unbeknown to me until I got a ear full from a guy 25 feet away as the water came up from his hole as I walked by. Back to shore tout suite.
