Hope to get out this weekend!
« on: Dec 08, 2014, 05:28 PM »
Crew change on Wednesday in sunny Porto Ferro, Brazil. ;D   Weather and jet lag permitting I may try to get out on Friday morning. Anyone have any suggestions? At the very least I hope to be on the ice this weekend after a quick trip up north to Minot to visit family.

UPDATE

Sorry guys, I lied to you! :-\ Found out today that it will be a helicopter ride into Cabo Frio, Brazil tomorrow then a 2 1/2 hour bus ride to Rio.  ;D

Fished Darling last week, got out a bit late but caught the tail end of the morning bite. Ended up missing a few and taking home 6 nice perch. I was told that from 2-430 people have been getting their limits. We did the best on a bright orange jig tipped with a minnow head. Also 11in of ice all the way up to 5 miles N of landing 3. Goodluck and let me know if you have any questions. Oh and also head the afternoon, night bite on audubon has been good.

Fished Sunday am, slow with 3 fish brought back for 3 guys west of Tobacco Garden.  Doesn't look like I will be out again until 2015.  Ice was around 10" with the village on ice growing and some driving larger pickups out.  Seemed a bit sketchy to us.

You missed a very good bite on Audubon last week.  They are now kinda dispersed and seem very finicky.  Some of the smaller lakes down by Napoleon have been doing pretty well.  I'll be out this weekend in search of the elusive perch.  We'll see how it works out.

Sitting in the Rio De Janeiro airport.  Hope to be on the ice in about 48 hours.

Lots of Minot guys running over to fish Lake Irvin. Nice 18" walleyes are being caught pretty steady...

I'm free this weekend, Jim!  I'd really enjoy picking your brain on some open water tactics as well.

We hit a bunch of small lakes east of Bismarck last weekend.  Ended up with 6 keeper walleye (one was marginal but it inhaled the jiggin rap and wasn't going to make it).  Won't be out this weekend but the weekend of the 20-21st i'll be out.  Hope to wack a few for the Christmas Eve Fish Taco feast!

I have found that the surest way for me to not go ice fishing is to make plans to go ice fishing...

Or tell the wife that I'm going to go ice fishing.

Yeah that too, though mine is pretty good at letting me get out when I can.

It's nice to have a permanent that I can take the wife to.  She watches movies all day and I go exploring around the lake.  That and she likes chasing rattle reels!

So you have an Icefishhousewife?  Very nice!  Mine, and all 3 kids have pledged to go now that I have a shelter and a heater.
