great photo's and FISH,I have not ice fished maine RAT
My fiancé and I went out to York beach for vacation, and since our ice season would be closed when we got back home, we knew we wanted to fish one day during our stay in Maine. I ended up chatting back and forth with MG39 a while back and he pointed me in the right direction. Once we were much closer to the week we would be headed out, we decided we would meet up and fish together. Friday morning we met up with MG and his friend CTripp, and headed north to an undisclosed body of water after pike, yellow perch, and crappie. When we arrived and headed out on the ice it was a little brisk, but quickly turned out to be a beautiful day and one that will be a life long memory.They immediately started drilling holes so Liz and I started getting traps set. Not long after the 8th tip up was in we had double flags. I missed mine on the hook set but that wasn't the case for Liz ( keep in mind she always out fishes me ). After close to ten minutes she brought in the biggest fish of the day right off the bat!(Image removed from quote.)After releasing her fish she went over to jig with MG39 and as he was showing her how to use the vex a northern came in and slammed her jig! So, she was in for the long ride on light tackle. She ended up with another respectable fish and I knew I had to step up my game if I would be able to catch up with her!(Image removed from quote.)After that it was just flag after flag and I had never seen anything like it. We had another set of doubles and even one set of triples which we iced all three fish! Towards the end of the day after things slowed down a little bit, one of my traps which was set in a little deeper water than the rest, went off. I had high hopes that I too had found a bigger fish and I was right. After setting the hook I knew it was my biggest fish of the day and once we got it turned up in the hole this is what I ended up with:(Image removed from quote.)Liz still had me by a couple pounds, but I wouldn't want it any other way. Overall we had 20 fish on and iced 17 of them. Unbelievable! They were able to find some perch as well, but I jigged for pike. Yesterday was the best day of fishing Liz or I have ever had on ice. We made new friends and couldn't have asked for better help. It's memories like this that make all the hard work figuring things out all worth while! Thanks again to MG39 and CTripp and maybe sometime they will get out to Oneida lake for walleye fishing, which they don't have available to them, and I can return the favor .Also, a couple days prior to this memorable day, my fishing partner and I got engaged! It was just an incredible week and it will be hard to top it!
Nice photo's. Awesome looking pike.
