Practice day for the 2007 Tourney
« on: Dec 29, 2006, 08:43 PM »
Countyiceman and I went fishing for 2-hours at a little honey-hole we like to call "Secret Pond #4".  The flags flew early and often with good sized pickerel.  We brought home 9 fish weighing a total of 13.75-lbs.  The larges, caught by Countyiceman, tipped the scale at 2-3/8lbs. and 22-3/4" long.  We got awesome video of this "peavey handle" coming through the ice.  We'll post that soon.
 
We thought ahead and made a flag to... well... umm... show off a bit.

The load out with fish tossed in like cord wood.  We had a terrific day and thought of all you good fellows the whole time we were out.

Yesterday, we returned to the pond and brought home another 8 fish.  My daughter and son were responsible for hoisting in our fish.  And, Countyiceman's long-time friend that joined us got top prize by hoisting in a 25", 3-1/2lb peavey handle which should be responsible for another great fish chowdah'.  All-in-all, it was a good day and not nearly as windy as it was the day before.

     Mrs. Icefish4 and I along with our two cherubs returned to Secret Pond #4 for another day of fishing.  We only had a couple hours of daylight for fishing.  In all the flags flew about a dozen times with a nice 23", 2-3/8-lb Pickerel being the largest.  The others were released back to their mothers. 
     The kids were whiney, but when we got back to the truck the youngest (almost 5 years old) commented: "...this was a great day, Papa!".  I guess that's payment enough, huh?
Tomorrow, I'm going solo to Secret Pond #1 and possibly Secret Pond #2 to chase the brookies and splake. 
Have a joyous new year.  God Bless!
