Our Best Day on the Ice So far this Season!! 1/2 Day
« on: Jan 28, 2020, 03:00 PM »
Samantha and I headed up to a lake we've never fished before; 1 1/2 hours north of where we live. We had a long week of work, editing, filming, basketball, etc. so we decided to sleep in and rest before heading up! We got there in the afternoon and to our surprise we had our best fishing day of the season so far! We were there for little under 3 1/2 hours and landed a total of 39 fish! I caught 27, seemed like every few minutes I had one!! Love these days lol :)

Ice was around 10" thick. Sunny day but pretty nippy, we got there and it was barely over 10 degrees. The sun and all the fish made it fine though :)
Landed all my fish in a wide variety of depths from 6-30 Feet and everywhere in between.

Attached are some photos of some of the fish as well as a video to the day! We got some nice drone footage of the lake and a few catches on film WITH THE DRONE ;D

Sorry to hear that man :( Must be the crazy weather we've been having. Supposed to be a really warm one this weekend all over...Some people in the front range were telling me they are expecting near 70 degrees!!!!!! I'm planning on a 2 day trip out in grand mesa this weekend, hoping the bite isn't terrible!

Thanks man!

Thanks Bigassbassman! We really appreciate your support and thanks for checking out the videos...We use a DJI Mavic Air, works great! A lot of shots you see are the smart capture shots built into the drone. One button click, and you got a hollywood shot! It's been really fun to use and obviously makes great video. It records in 4K as well, going to start recording in that from now on.

Cool!  Pricey unit, but I guess if you want those shots, it’s well worth it!  Again, nice video. Way to represent CO fishing, guys!  :tipup: :tipup: :tipup:

Same!! We're going to do a deep trek into the mountains for some biggins...Should be a nice walk in and out for them! A BBQ on the ice sounds pretty awesome...I can only image eating brats, burgers, etc. while slamming fish...damn now i'm hungry too.

Ya it was a little pricey...I used to play a card game called MTG and sold a few higher end cards to get it. We're trying to represent CO in the right way, glad you appreciate it!! ;D
