Went to North end of Winni today with OlRusty, NHFishah and Makeshiftshanty. Met Crazy Dana at AJ's, We think we saw Adrien waiting for a client?? Not sure but it looked like it could have been him (Adrien do you own a big white truck with snowmobile and hut raise up on a platform above the bed? If so how the heck does that work?)
Anyway we headed out, getting there a little later than we should have and got right into the jumbo white perch. It seemed like it was going to last forever but it didn't. It actually ended pretty quickly as the sun came up in the sky. I got mine on a salmo-chubby darter. They were inhaling it on every drop. The others were using swedish pimps, blade baits and smelt on tip ups. When the bite slowed Makeshift and I headed out for some laker action. I hooked up on my first drop and the fish shook free half way up. Had a few other lookers but no more bites. NHFishah and OlRusty joined us around 12:30. It was pretty much over but NHFishah managed a couple hits and landed one before we called it quits around 2:30. The wind let up a bit but not enough as far as I'm concerned. In fact it picked up as we left.

The jumbo whites are a ball on a light jig rod, might try them again (maybe in the early am) before the season ends. Edges on the lake were top shape, still a ton of good ice. I guess it could be at least another two weeks left up there without any problems.

Only took one picture of NHFishahs laker but I probably wont post it as it was the only picture I bothered to pull my camera out for.

Hey Guys,

Glad to hear you got some fish.

My buddies and I were up on Winni today too ( Out by Welch ) Good 20" of ice still here.
We didn't do too much fishin' though.... It was all business today. Had to extract the shack.

First: :embarassed: MY HONKER IS FRIED!!!

Capt Spike.
Yes that is my rig. There is a 9ft. ramp inside the deck that slides out to drive the sled up and down and slide the shack up, it works very well and very easy, beats the hell out of a trailer in my humble opinion. I also have a magnum otter sled that fits in the bed of the truck under the deck.

Also correct, waiting for clients to show up for a charter.

I had the black jacket tucked into Blue Ice Armor Bibs and a black hat or Pats Cap.

We headed towards long island and fished. Set up and started whacking whites and lakers immidiately, the boys had 2 perch and 2 lakers on the ice before i set a tip up, caught them pretty steady a mix of lakers and perch and then a group shows up a couple hours later and i guess saw us catching fish and proceeded to drill at least 6 holes between 2 of my traps

6 HOLES BETWEEN 2 OF MY TRAPS!
I didn't need that crap so i picked up my traps and gear and moved, if he wanted that spot so bad he can have it, it's obvious the kind of people i would have been dealing with so i said nothing and walked away.

Any ways moved a few hundread yards where there were no white perch but lots of lakers and my clients ended up landing 23 lake trout, half jigging on AJ's perch Bucktails and half on tip ups. They bit steady until about 1 and then only 2 or 3 the last hour and a half and we packed it in.

Minus the wind it was a GREAT DAY, lots of sun and lots of fish!

Here is the guys with a few whites, i omly have 1 pic of the Lake Trout they were all cookie cutter Lake Winni Lakers from 17-21 inches but a ton of fun on a medium action rod!!

Yo Adrien,

Nice Fish!

Another good day of fishing I see

. My buddy & I were interested in heading out with you this spring, We'll be in touch

Jiffy Man · « **Reply #7 on:** Mar 23, 2008, 07:34 AM »

I would love to get into some whites before the season ends. If anyone heads out again before the season ends (preferably during the week) let me know if you wouldn't mind some company. Glad you guys had a good day. I headed out to Bellamy...again...and got into some big crappie. Got about 20 before I got fed up with the wind and went home. Glad everyone had a somewhat productive day...Tim

Adrien, I feel your pain on that one...I probably should have swallowed my pride and done the same earlier this year on Bellamy...Tim

I wish I knew it was you capt. We were the guys that stopped by in the green truck. F&G officer told us people were catching fish up that way. Conditions were great for traveling around via truck and checking things out. Haven't fished that area in along time and figured we would check it out and visit some friends up at the north end. Took the house off "reluctantly" yesterday with the conditions as good as they were. I would say right now is the best the ice has been this season so far. I measured 20-24inches in most places with 12+ snow ice being on top. We bounced around various places for a hour or two catching one small mouth jigging and a 26in cusk on a tip-up with smelt. Going to do day trips with the wheeler till the shoreline gives out.

You were dealing with "Flatlanders". Here's their sign......

Any respectable fishermen knows you don't need to crowd anyone else. Big lake. Lots of room.

Another nice job of fishing. Glad you had success with your clients.

I am also a Flatlander and would never even think of doing something like that.If someone invites you to join them then thats a differant story.Any respectable outdoorsman allows others to have their own space to enjoy whatever sport they are doing.

Then your not a flattie in my book if you show respect and have some common courtesy. Flatties in my book don't. I wouldn't be proud to admit that.
By the way, have you ever been to Newfound? Ever take in the scenery?
