Title: Camofish's Ice Adventures (3/10/06-Camo on the ice - bottom of p.15)
Post by: camo_fish on Dec 15, 2005, 06:51 PM
Yea Haa,  :woot: :clap: I got out this evening with Jr. tonight, and low and behold, Lance, Tim, and Ryan were out on the ice too.  :clap: good thing too. Went to pick up auger head up from shop today and left the auger in the garage.  :%$#!: 1 of the many things I forgot today.  :blink: just was so happy to get on the hard water.  ;)2 So, thanks again Lance, for the auger, I popped about a dozen holes and ended up putting out 5 tip-ups. We fished from about 230p-430p and had 3  :tipup: flags and ended up with only 1 fish. Jr. pulled in a nice 12"crappie.  :thumbsup: And Dad ended up with 1 nice gill, 1 crappie, and 1 keeper out of 3 perch  :flex: with the jigpole with out the sonar too.
And here is Jr. with our catch.  :clap:

And a close-up of the catch.

And thinks to Lance here we are on the tailgate showing off our 1st outings catch.  :thumbsup:

Perhaps if my dad took me ice fishing I never have had the operation and I would still be a man.  That's OK, I'm on the transplant list.

Good time, eh Camo!?  It was great to meet Team Caroga!  Thanks for everything CarogaKid, Coldbum, Jackson, Hime, Upstate and friends.  Nice to see BigRed and Mike make the journey as well!  Thanks for the warm confines of the shanty, without it I think I would look like the fish on the roof of the shack.  My clothes still smell like smoke, a fond memory of the journey and the stove venting in reverse.  Hope to see you guys again soon.  Feel free to come up and see us on Toga, you're always welcome!

        It's difficult to find more fun. The huddled masses at home with the tube wonder how we do it on a near zero day. Let's not tell 'em. ;D ;D ;D

       All I can really say guys is; Thanks fer the invite.

     Uh oh. Haven't unloaded the car yet. I gotta change the fuel in the auger before I go out again. I gotta meet Son-in-Law at the Broadalbin boat launch at 9:00AM today,(it is Friday aint it?).

Started out this morning putting little Jr. on the bus, then throw all the ice gear in the truck, stop at the bait shop for a few minnows,  :-\ that I didn't use.
I started out on Round lake this morning in the thick fog  :-[ forgot the gps, so I headed along the side over to the basis.  :-\ Just a few sniffers, no takers, so I headed in to the edge of the weekline, nothing.  :-\
So, I had 15 mins. left, so I walked in close to shore, chisel'd out an old hole, dropped the vex in and 3 FOW. So I took it out, looking in the hole drop down my jig, BLAM-O, caught a little perch up in 3-4 FOW.  :o  At least not a skunk'in.  ;)
So I headed home to dry out stuff for afternoon adventure.  ;D
Got, Jr. off the bus and ate lunch, hit the bait store and down the road we went.  8)
Got to the spot and put all 9 tipups in the water, nothing, after dropping the last tipup, I saw stuff on the sonar.  ;) So I drilled a few more holes around this one and ended up getting a little pumkinseed.  ;D
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/013006sunny1a.jpg)
But, no and behold a flag  :tipup: goes up.  ;D So I got there and the spool is turning pretty good, so I told Jr. to get ready. I took out the tipup and with the line sliding thru my fingers, a little love pull back and, "Take it, it's a nice one, bud." I hand the line over to JR.  :clap:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/013006pkl19bb.jpg)
We got this nice 19" chain pickerel.  :thumbsup: And back down the hole.
So, a few more flags  :tipup: and drops, then finally  :tipup: and a spinning spool.  :clap:
Jr. ends up with a nice little 17" pickerel.  :thumbsup:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/013006pkl17aa.jpg)
While dad is moving and jig with nothing but sniffers.  :-\ A few more flags  :tipup: and drops, oh well, the name of the game, flag, run, prey for fish.  ;)
So with the last flag  :tipup: and fish, Jr. pulled up this nice little perch to end the day.  :clap:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/013006yperch1bb.jpg)
With a change of dry clothes in the truck and a stop by McD's on the way home, then bed. We had another great day on the ice, Camo and Camo Jr.  ;D
Fish On!

I made it out for an hour this morning between putting my son on and getting him off the bus.  :P
Fished from 930a-1030a down in the #1 hole around.  ;) I drilled 10 holes and only caught fish out of 2 of them.
I finally broke the ice with a small gill and then caught 5 perch back to back with the last one to be this nice 12"er.  ;D
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/021406YP12aa.jpg)
Then I moved to a few more holes and hit another hot hole with 4 more back to back perch with the last one being a personal best,
15" fatty perch.  :o Now  ;) for all you, lets guess where he was,  ;) so just go and try.  ;D It might be in your back yard.  ;D
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/021406YP15bb.jpg)
Hoping that this one will but me in the lead of yet another category n the tourney.  :clap: :thumbsup: :woot:
Go Camofish and Team NY!  :flex:

Fish On!

And the best thing is that I was the only soul on the ice.  :flex:

ya know it, got to get out on the ice when I can.  ;D

Super fish dude!!!!! Hey, do I get partial credit for that one ?  ;)
Sure, why not  ;) but, notice I used a different kind of jig.  ;D
I started out with a different color say red and orange, but with in 4 mins or so. I put that rod down and picked up my green and orange double. And I never made it to the other rod with the other color combo. But, I do need to get out and get some of the ones that you were using the other day.  ;)  ;D

Glad you let them go for the kids to catch.  Most people would of kept them no matter what state they were caught in.  I release all my big fish except for pickerel.  the big pickerel are the only ones that you can get a decent fillete off of.  those big perch are to beautiful to keep.

Good fish and once again kudos on the release.

Thanks guys for all the great replies.  ;D I got another great fishing report today.  ;D

Took Camo Jr. down to the playground today and had a hard time getting 4 tipups on the ice.  :tipup:  :tipup:  :tipup:  :tipup:
And here is the 1st decent one out of the 1st wave of fish.  ;)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/021606YP1a.jpg)
And soon after, here is another decent perch.  8)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/021606YP2a.jpg)
It went pretty dry for a while and the natives were restless, finally another  :tipup: and fish.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/021606YP3a.jpg)
While we were waiting for flags, we got a moments to get the jig wet  ;) and mustard up some gills.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/021606jig2a.jpg)
Then  :tipup:  :o wow the spool is spinning good, and what is this.  :o
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/021606FallF1a.jpg)
14" of some awesome cutbait, but we let every thing go today for another day of fun.  ;D
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/021606FallF2a.jpg)
Back to jigging and hole hoping.  ;)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/021606jig1a.jpg)
Notice the double hole and one sonar. Camo Jr. keep moving his jig up and saying that I can't catch is jig with mine  ;) playing the sonar fishing game.  ;D
Then here is the last decent fish on a tipup.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/021606YP4a.jpg)
And give it up for Camo Jr.'s 1st fish on the jig pole.  :clap: :flex:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/021606YP5a.jpg)
Not that bad of a perch too.  :thumbsup: he was shocked and was so happy that a fish eat his jig. He kept telling me that he wanted what I was catching my fish on, so I told him that his jig was good, just have to keep it down toward the bottom.  :)

Check back later for a link to the videos that I got today, 2 tipup perch and his 1st jigpole perch.  ;D

What a great day down at the playgrounds this afternoon.   8)

Camo looks like your kid had a blast at the "Playground". 

that is the biggest shiner (we call them fallfish in Pa) i have ever seen through the ice.

If you would of kept it alive at home, im sure some musky or pike would be very appreciative of you when you used him for bait. ;D

Gotta love when the kids are killin the fish! I had my son and daughter out a few week-ends ago and they caught their first fish on the water. My daughter got so excited she was was running from our hole to the shanty where her mother and brother were fishing and back.By the time she got back to the hole she had everyones attention! Then everyone started inching a lil closer! I could hear Crappiedaddie laughing inside his shanty. I loved it! Who needs a Vex when you can just get my daughter out there fishing! She'll tell ya where they are. Sorry for clogging the Camo, with my story...........

That would be great and I've got the paper awards already.  ;D 1/2 the work is done.
Sounds like a plan, I'll try and work on one for next year, this year's ice is weird and I don't  :-\ have the time this year. But, when we get back here in Dec., I'll get some polls going and try and track down a location.  8)

I love seeing the kids have so much fun, it takes you back in time for a minute to when you were a kid don't it?, it is so important to get the kids out, 1- its tradition and 2- its so good for the family. I cant wait for next ice season, we met so many really good people already, here's to new friends   :thumbsup:, it would be so cool to have a tourney for the kids next season. Its great we actually got out this year, and now we are set for next season. I will definitely donate boxes of jig's to all the kids if we have a tourney, that would be a good time for everyone. Great pictures Camo, good job Camo jr. :thumbsup:

Got away for some R&R up at the inlaws camp that is on the water up on Sacandaga Lake up in Speculator.
We were up in God's country from Tuesday evening - Sunday afternoon. We started out Wens. afternoon getting out on the ice as a family and ended up with this nice little chain pickerel.  ;D
(http://www.myfishfinder.com/pictures/data/500/022206Pkla.jpg)
And I ended up jigging up some nice perch, while Mom and Camo Jr. took off for a little snowmobile ride, checking out the trails for later that night.  ;)
(http://www.myfishfinder.com/pictures/data/500/022206YP2a.jpg)
Noticed that the perch were dark, there fins were blackish, must be the stained water that they live in.
(http://www.myfishfinder.com/pictures/data/500/022206YP1a.jpg)

Then on Thursday, Mom and Jr. took a late nap and I took off on the snowmobile, hooked up my sled and fished for the last few hours of daylight.  ;) Here is my ride.  8)
(http://www.myfishfinder.com/pictures/data/500/022306Sleda.jpg)
I got right back into the school of perch that I found and marked with my gps.  ;) Then I caught one of these weird little fishies. SMELT  :o
(http://www.myfishfinder.com/pictures/data/500/022306Smelt1a.jpg)
1st smelt ever catch.  ;D It went right on a tipup and set right under the ice.  ;)
I ended up catching a nice perch on that smelt, but lost it at the hole, only had the head in it's mouth and no hooks in the lip.  :P
Well, I ended up catching a few dozen or so of these ADK smelt.
(http://www.myfishfinder.com/pictures/data/500/022306Smelt2a.jpg)
They were all over the water column, I would drop my jigs into the water and the flasher would just come alive with marks all over.
Smelt (freshwater piranha), they even have teeth on there tongue.  :-\ Weird little fish.
They were fun to catch and pass the time.
But, now in search of some fishies that eat smelt for dinner.  ;)
Till next time on the hardwater.

Tight lines and Fish On!

Ok, maybe one of the last times on SAFE ice.  :-\ Got out yesterday with Deposit, we fished from 6a-2p down at honeyhole #2, hoping that the wind and rain would hold off for the day.  ;) We got out on the ice and got all of our tipups in with big bait looking for that monster, that never found our bait.  :'( But we did end up with a flags and a little jiggy bite that came and went during the day.  ;D
Deposit started out running to a few drop and run flags and then me too, the fishies were winning at first light.  :-\ The rain came and only thing that we could catch were a few gills and a perch here and there. Then the sun came out and the flags were flying high for about 5-10 mins or so and I ended up with the biggest fish of the day. Not a monster but a keeper at 22", here is Camo's 1st NP on the ice this season.
(http://www.myfishfinder.com/pictures/data/500/031006NP22a.jpg)
Then another, much smaller, but a pike, just what we were after.
(http://www.myfishfinder.com/pictures/data/500/031006NPa.jpg)
Then the clouds and rain rolled back in.  :-\ And back to the jigging game. At the days end this is the take for the day.
(http://www.myfishfinder.com/pictures/data/500/031006Catch1a.jpg)
Well back to the report.  ;D After the second little rain shower, the sun came back out and I had moved 3 of my tipups to a different part of the lake and started running to a flag and all of a suddent, 2 flags running high. So, I was yelling at Deposit, he could see the second one, "go get it" I was saying, so with the double, I iced another small pike and Deposit iced a small bass. And then back to locating some jiggy fish.  ;)
Now, back to the days end...Camo ended up with a nice little take home meal for Deposit...and a believer in the sonar unit  ;) Camo out fished Deposit close to 20/25-1 that is sonar vs. no-sonar.  8)
So here is Camo with  :thumbsup: (2 thumbs up) on a few nice fish on the ice, and it won't be possible with out, meeting up with BigRed last year in need for cash and sell Camo his extra sonar unit.  :clap: And the sonar unit has a nice new home.  :clap: Thanks BigRed...
(http://www.myfishfinder.com/pictures/data/500/031006Catch3a.jpg)
Is there going to be another trip on to the ice or not? That is question...I still have tons of bait, too.  :-\
Fish On!
P.S. thanks Shawn & Jack for the info guys, we found a few fishies.  ;D

Nice job Camo_Fsih glad to see  the old Zercom is still being used to this day. That was the same exact unit (bigred's old one) that got me hooked on flashers. Used it for a whole year before I got my own.

Hope you get out a couple more times if the ice makes it through this warm spell through tuesday morning then it should hold up for another week im hoping :)

Yea, the old Zercom is still going and has great new home.  ;)  ;D

I saw the cold is going back, and can only hope to get back out for another or so trips on the ice, but if not, wouldn't hurt my feelings to get the boat out either.  ;D

Way to go Camo. :clap: Was going to one of the H-holes this morning but Marbury got up and ralphed all over my bathroom floor. He's still in bed.  Maybe one more try tomorrow for the big crappie.

Working on the boat and the flyfishing equipment at the moment ;)
