Well, I got out for the first time this year...5" of ice on Mayfield lake...First time on this lake too...Started out about 9am and ended up with 3 dinks by noon. :- ...I was watching this guy chase flags since he got on the ice so I went over to chat...He said that if I was going to stay I would pop a few holes over there, where, there...so I ended up staying for a few more hours in the freezing rain. :P.And low and behold flag, run, run, run...And ended up with this nice 12" perch. ;D

I see a fish fry coming...then in about another 1/2 hour or so, the same flag flew high, and ended up with a 10" crappie this time. ;D
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/122204crappie.jpg)
And right before we picked up at 2p, we ended up with another 10" crappie.
"We're having fish tonight!" ;D

I had to add in the stick I caught on my nice neon pink sounder, isn't it a beauty ;)
All in all, I had a great and fun time out on the ice for the first time this year.
Flag! Fish on!

-
;) very nice camofish.. ;) tartar or cocktail.. ;) never tried mayfield..can you say roadtrip ;)
-
Great stuff Camo Fish!
It's great to see!
-
Those sticks are smart. I see I am now not the only one to have posted a pic of a monster stick I caught. Those sticks are really smart and it takes a true angler to catch one and a brave angler to post it up ;D
By the way camofish, that perch is a beauty :)
-
Good looking perch hope to get out this weekend and few myself.
-
thanks guys, it was a wonderful start to the ice season, now only if I can go thru the season without a skunken. ;D

Got out this morning on fish creek, 4 1/2" of ice. from the reports it's been slow, ;D don't know what that is about. Well, I fished from about 830a-1050a and was running flags at least every 10-15 min. Here is a pictures of a little LMB that tripped my tip up twice so, I dropped my jig pole down on him and he sucked it right in as it hit bottom.
First fish with jig pole with year. ;D
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/122804TogaLLMB1.jpg)
Then another little bass. ;)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/122804TogaLLMB2.jpg)
Where are all the perch and crappie at ??? here is a little pike that gave me a nice hand run off the tip up. ;)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/122804TogaLPK.jpg)
Got a little dink perch and a few more little LMB. For the second time out, I had a blast. Here is another little bass on the last tip up as I was walking to the last one to pick up and flag, cool, 5 more steps. :D
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/122804TogaLLMB3.jpg)
All fish back to grow. ;D
Fish on!
-
Camofish's trusty green tipups strike again! the fish better watch out...
-
Nice Camo. You lucky dog!!!! Were you alone out there or were others out as well?
-
Nice!! :D
-
to bad you didn't catch any keeper perch, oh well just think of it as practice for when we really get out there for some ice fun ;D
-
Nice job camo! Always good to see.

3rd trip with year, 2nd trip in 2 days to Toga. Got out there at 730a and fished till 4pm. After we got 6 flags in, they started to fly high. It took us another hour or so to get the last 4 in. ;) This was my buddies 1st trip out on the ice in years, so I hooked him up with a great day of fishing. Here was the 1st LMB. :D
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/122904SwedLMB1a.jpg)
And another ;D
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/122904SwedLMB2a.jpg)
And another ;) I was playing the camo guide for the day and letting my buddy run most of the flags. ;D
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/122904SwedLMB3a.jpg)
I did find time to catch a few myself, ;D here is a double perch on a double hook tipup. ;)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/122904DblPerch2a.jpg)
Had another buddy show up with his son about noon. His son got broke off from a nice 3+ lber. So I let him try again and ended up with this fine green carp (LMB)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/122904Lem_SonLMBa.jpg)
Here is a nice 3 lber, man he was all over the bass today. ;D
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/122904SwedLMB4a.jpg)
Here is a little LMB camofish ended up with. ;)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/122904CamoLMBa.jpg)
And a nice chain pickeral. ;D
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/122904CamoChaina.jpg)
And even a nicer chain. ;)

Way to go guys. I still have yet to get a lmb but not really in the proper spot for them. What is the differences between chain and pike???? ;D
-
Way to go guys. I still have yet to get a lmb but not really in the proper spot for them. What is the differences between chain and pike???? ;D
the main differances between chains and pike are size, chain pickeral do not get as large as pike, color pattern, and chain pickeral's gill plates are completely covered with scales, an a pikes is only half covered.
heres a link to a good illustration http://www.mass.gov/dfwele/dfw/dfwpdf/dfw_esocidsposter.pdf
-
Thanks mullen. That illistration explained it prefectly. Good job

Yea, and he don't have a wife and kids, HAHAHA.....If I had time to fish when and where I wanted too, I would be kill'n them too....If I only got out the same amount as him, but only getting out no more than 20% of the time he puts on the water I would show him too....HAHAHA. And if I whined as much as him, well, HEHEHEHEHE. It's too cold...... ;D And if he only had 1/2 of my responsibilities I have. HEHEHEHE. Let's see who would out fish me know. ;D
-
Well, I got out today on a private local pond and reef'd'em. Here is the only LMB caught today. ;D
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/010505bass1a.jpg)
And a nice little 10 3/4" crappie. ;)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/010505crap2a.jpg)
And man!, I had a blast with my jig pole today. ;D
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/010505jigpolea.jpg)
Best day ever with the jig pole. ;) ice'd 6 crappie out of the same hole. :D
And we fished from 8a-noon, and ended up with 15 crappie and 2 perch. ;D
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/010505TheCatch.jpg)
Man, what a DAY!, :P and a hour of fillet'n. ;)
:tipup: Fish on!
-
Way to go Camo! That's a nice lookin bag-o-fish! ;D
-Zach
-
camofish... you will catch more fish on a jig pole than ever before with just tipups. You will definitely love it!
By the way, those crappie have great colors!
-
:tipup:nice job buddy i saw that you went to my back yard instead of the dead sea that is a killer littel bay :tipup: that spot is less than 2 mins away from me i was there yesterday afternoon we did pretty good 8) :tipup: 8)
-
Camo: Nice day! Would have loved to have made it out to the ice with you, D*MN JOB! Nice fish and great pics!
-
Awesome crappies camo. Methinks I recognize the lake from the pics. ;) No bluegills or anything just crappie and some perch ???. If that's the lake I'm thinking about it seems like it has lots of crappies that are under the 9" regulation.
MMMMMM, good, gone to have fish tonight. ;D never targeted crappies, didn't know that reg. ??? now I know, thanks, trying to make me fell guilty. :( nope, and they are all legal, and that's the story, and I'm sticking to it. ;)
Slipbob, what to hook up Monday somewhere on the ice? ???
So we can play with your cool toys, watch some TV and play video games. ;)
-
Yeah the NY minumum size for cali's is 9" but anyway all those fish were more than that so no problem. ;) Monday's no fun day for me. Gotta work. :'( I had my aquaview on the lake New Year's eve and if it's the same lake you were at catching those crappies I must add I saw a group of crappies come through and one had to be 16" or 17". It was like a halibut and swimming with a couple 10"ers of which I caught one and it dwarfed em but of course the monster didn't bite. The aquaview is fun, fun, fun with panfish. First watch the vex and see one coming in then switch your gaze to the camera for the kill. ;D I eventually have some vacation time coming and can do the weekday slay.
Cool, will stay in touch and days off are mon.-wen. till Feb. then thrus.-fri. will hook up soon, come on king, time to freeze. :D
-
I forgot to put this beautie up in my pictures.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/Wally3aa.jpg)
MMMMMMMM, well for my buddy, yes, :) I gave this one away. :-\
But, the following week I got my share of crappie. ;)
First eye on the ice for me, this year. ;D
Almost lost her, too. The hook came out when the head was out of the hole. :P At the second the hook flew out I went in the hole to death grip her and threw her on the ice. ;D My buddy saw the whole thing and couldn't believe his eyes :o . I told him that if it came down to losing a big wally :'( or having a wet sleeve :-\ , I'd go up to my elbow and have a wet arm or sleeve, any day. ;)
:tipup: Fish on!
-
Nice walleye CF. You are on a tear this year. I am going up north to Montana in less than a month to catch some Ft. Peck Reservoir monsters. Nothing like somebody elses success to really give you that flag chasing itch. Great job CF. Keep the pictures coming.
-
thanks IceTroll, I'm hoping to find some nice rainbows this Monday. One can only hope to get one of those 20"+ rainbows up and out of the hole. ;D
-
Got out with Deposit today, he ended up with a nice 20" pickeral for the tourney and some nice perch. I had my hand full with the crappie again.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/011005TheCatcha.jpg)

-
lets go NY guys, need some fish in the tourney. ;D yea, the wind was fun up the creek today. thinking of hitting it again tomorrow, close to the house. ;) the holes were freezing up quick today, jigging was colder, hanging around in the shanty, waiting for flags. :tipup: run, Fish On!
-

Had it out on the King today, wow :o the wind was blowing 30-40mph. Only fished from 930a-1130a and scored 4 with 2 around 18" and a 25", 26".
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/012605LT25aa.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/012605LT26bb.jpg)
here is the 26" again. ;D
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/012605Me2a.jpg)
And my buddy scored 3 with all around 21"-22". ;D
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/012605Paul22a.jpg)
The high winds had it to be a short trip, but NAD42 thanks alot for the info. Wish you were there, but don't know if I'd go back out in that wind, well, yea I would for some tight lines. ;)
Fish On!
-
where'd ya fish? how deep? what color? ;D ;D ;D...WTG CAMO!!...(and buddy).
-
Nice job guys, cant wait till i get out there tomorrow.
-
Awesome lakers. Jigging or tipups? Looks like another typical brutal day on George. 30mph winds are considered calm, just lookout for the big gusts that move men and shanties far and fast.
Ahh, my first icefishing memory, my dad and his buddies bring me up to Hen and Chicken Island for Salmon... Blizzard, the sled went flying, with me,(6 years old) in it...Good Times!!! ;D
-
Yep yep going to have to bite the bullet and convince the boss to let me take a day off and head back in to the frozen yander with ya camo...Great catch...even in the wind :woot: :thumbsup: :roflmao:

Awesome lakers. Jigging or tipups? Looks like another typical brutal day on George. 30mph winds are considered calm, just lookout for the big gusts that move men and shanties far and fast.
Jigging with 1/2 icicles, over 69 FOW, hitting them anywhere from 10'-30' off bottom. ;D
First time ever jigged up lakers, and man, I'm hooked. :D
-
Nice, Camo! Sweet lakers. I have yet to fish on Lake George through the ice. Looks damn cold!! Hope the filets were tasty!
-

yea, cold, not bad with the 5 layers of clothes I had one. ;) fingers on gloves were frozen, couldn't bend them, that is when it was time to head back in. :)
My buddy is going to smokem up in his new smoker and hook me up with a taste. ;D
-
Well, I got skunked today on George. :-[ But my buddy got his 1st laker and it was a keeper, a nice 23 1/2"er. ;D And another shorty. ;)
This one is going in the smoker for the guys at work. ;D
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/013105LK23.jpg)
My other buddy got a 22", back to grow up. :D
Met NAD42 today, thanks again for the auger usage. ;D My throttle on my gas auger won't work. >:( got it home and it works fine now. I guess that is good for Wen. trip. ;) Got to run.
Fish on! another day. :(
-
Made it out on the king with BigRed, and we hammered the lakers today in high double digits. :o We fished from 730a-1245p and the bite was hot from 830a till 1230p. ;D Awesome, awesome day, best day on the ice ever.
Here are a few of the ones I got.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/020205Geogre1a23a.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/020205Geogre1a24a.jpg)
BigRed was a few of him with some nice ones too, they were all fatty, very aggressive fish today.
Fish On!
-
Nice Lakers. I bet those were fun to haul in. :tipup:
-
Nice job camo those are some FAT fish, how big were they?
-
SWEEEEEET catch camo, fun as usual!!
-
They were averaging around 18"-20" with BigRed and I with 3 each over 23" and only keeping 2 total. :D
We didn't have time for pictures, cause we couldn't even get out jigs down to bottom before the dinner bell would sound. There was one point when I yanked 5 or 7 out of the hole in less than 5 mins. :o yea, hard to believe, but this is no fish tale. ;)
Fish On!
-
Wow sounded like an great day...can't wait till we get together next week, hope we hammer them like that :clap: :clap: :flex: :flex: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :woot: :wacko: :wacko:

Went to George today for the get together, fished from 630a till noon. Met Bussman, Fishking, Slipbob, Eddie, BigRed, Deposit, and buddy Paul out on the ice this morning. Nice to meet you all.
By noon when I left, Slipbob had 6, Bussman 2, Fishking 0, Eddie 0, Deposit 1, Paul 0 and Camo 6 w/ 2 keepers. ;D
Here was my first keeper. ;)

Wish I could have stayed but my buddies didn't have fish finders and it made it long and hard to find a bite. :-\
Fish On!
Oh yea, thanks for the flasher and a ride back in BigRed, sure beat walking. :D

Nice lakers!

yea right, those were caught on #6 trebles tied straight to the 30# and 45# braided tipup line, NO LEADERS, with heavy shinners for the toothies. There are some nice pike and some tigers in the lake, but no one seems to hit an of the "fish of a 1000 casts". :P Just more bass than toothies, and if we hit a toothy, it's going to be a wall banger. ;D
-
Way to go Camo, as usual you are havin a good time no matter what!!!!!!! FISH-ON
-
well fishyfinger and I were both out there...we got a late start and didnt get out there untill about 10:00 am. we were just kind of takin a look around to see if there was anyone out in the big mob of people outside of vets park and just west of the island. we tried and didnt get anything but one smelt on saterday and then went around to the east side of the island and tried there and only got 2 dinks...it really kind of sucked big time out there. mabey next year we will actully do good up there. not to mention i am still yet to take home fish for the season. i have only gotten a few dinks out of wilson harbor early in the season.

Seem's like you havent slowed down since last I looked :)
Keep up the greatness Camo
-
Ive fished with Camo b/4. Hes got one he11 of a drive for fish. Seems to slam them wherever he goes. He could catch a LMB in a puddle if you let him.
-
Yes it true!!!!! I watch him pull a LMB out of a tiny stream while trout fishing!!!! :o :o :o :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :blink: :blink: :blink:

:( it's going to be about 2 weeks before I get out again, :'( Hope the weather stays cold to hold the ice into March. :-\ may get out next week on vacation in the mountains but the fishing is hard and few a far between to put fish on the ice. :P but oh well. the get away and family time is well worth it too. ;D
Till next time, thanks guys and tight lines.
Fish On!

I thought it was a nice toothy, I could tell it was long but didn't take any big runs. And then a snake came out of the hole I was shocked :o weirdest thing I ever pulled through a hole. :P
-
It can't put up too much resistance because it has no width really, but eels are very strong... something tells me you cut the line... ;D

Spent a long weekend up at camp and snowmobiling twice a day, once after breakfast and again after nap time. ;D Awesome quality time with the family. :D
Made it out for about two hours the first afternoon and had only two hit and run flags. :-\
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/022505Flag1a.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/022505Flag2a.jpg)
But the scenery was out of this world. The Adirondacks are just an awesome place to spend Thursday-Sunday snowmobiling and playing with the family.
NO Fish On! :-\
Till next time. ;)

-
Deep breath camo...like is good and trout season is on its way ;D

Looks like a nice place to be even though you didnt get any fish.
-
Took BigRed and my buddy out in the truck today. Right off the bat I get a 19" LMB and then the tip-ups were dead. Started jigging and got a few fatty perch and :tipup: run, run, run, missed him. :P The fish took 60 feet of my line and got away by the time I got there. :( Oh well thats fishing, and I still was catching. ;D
Here are a few of the fatties I got.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/030305Rounda.jpg)
Fish On!

No pictures of the 19" LMB? Nice perch!
-
No pictures of the 19" LMB? Nice perch!
Nope it was on the last tip-up and a long way from where we were jigging. It was the only bass I got today but it was cold and windy and wanted to get him back in the hole. :P
-
;) thanks sb..never had anything cut me off at "square pond" before..but there in there ;) as always camo wtg.. ;D
-

Made it back out on triangle pass today. ;) Got about 5 LMB, on 6 flags. And here is my biggin for the day 22"er.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/050405LMB1a.jpg)

Thanks guys ;D I wish I could find these big, bad boys on the open water more than on the ice. But, man they are unreal to be pulling these up on tip-ups and using your hands. You wouldn't ever be able to do that on the open water. A true pleasure of ice fishing. ;D
-
I never caught a LMB on ice. Do they smack their heads on the ice when they try to jump? :D I bet there a blast.

Thanks, the print you get for the photo contest is nice and hand-signed. Got to get it framed and it's going on the wall, next to the other deer print and my little 19" brownie caught in a small stream in VA when I was 12 yrs. old. ;D

Can you send the pictures through an e-mail or does it have to go through regular postal mail?
-
Can you send the pictures through an e-mail or does it have to go through regular postal mail?
I sent them thru the US mail. made small color photos to fit 4+ on a piece of paper and I ended up sending about 8 or more photos of open and ice fishing. That way they can use the others during other seasons of fishing. Wish I had hunting pictures like I do fishing ones. ;D
Fish On!
I'd like to see some of your trout photos and every one else getting into this. The paper is an awesome place to put monster fish pictures. ;D
-
I'd like to send a few pics down and take a chance at wining one of those beautiful prints. I got a few pictures of some decent bucks from past years, Most of this years fishing pics are digital. Think they would accept computer prints?

Camo fish,
Congratulations! I have been impressed with the fish you have caught this season. Also from your pictures it looks like you don't let the weather bother you. You are very complementary to others. You are good for the sport keep up the good work.

Thanks for all the kind words, guys. I love to fish, showing others the trade and help when I can and there is no reason to be pissy and mean. If others are welling to share info, so do I.
Thanks again guys, with a few more week left of ice, hopefully, I'll have a few more pictures.

Tight lines to all and stay on top!

Made it out on crappie pond today with fatcrappie. My 4th tipup in, blam-o, before I could clear the snow away from the 5th hole. PICKERAL
Then we got our flags in and started jigging. And blam-o, crappie, and another. ;D
A few more flags and a few more fish. :D I ended up caughting a total mix bag of fish today.
pickeral, perch, bass, crappie, and even a nice gill.
WHAT AN AWESOME MORNING, THE BIRDS and THE SUN ARE BACK, SPRING IS NEAR.
Here is a nice pickeral I got.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/031705Pkla.jpg)
Fatcrappie was beside himself watching camofish laying crappie on the ice. ;)
So being the nice guy I am, I let him use my rod and sonar and blam-o, the crappies started coming for him too, the 1st crappies that he's got'en. ;D WTG bud. 8)
We fish from about 820a-1045a and what a blast, this is what we came home with. 8)

nice fish there camo!!!!!! You definately are a fish catching machine. I got a nice laker finally, check out my new album on MFF !!!!!! ;D

Nice job man! Glad to see you did good on the POND.
Robb :tipup:

Camo_fish and fatcrappie were Haulin' today. Sherry's learnin' how to use the Vex and has to get used to that 'Haul 'em out and drop 'em on the ice' technique, but she was fascinated just watching you guys. As soon as you guys left the guy behind us moved right on over there and started haulin' 'em in too.
We did a catch and release thing today, and Sherry saw her first 'Strawberry' too. When we let 'em go they hung up in the hole for a while. She thinks, as do I, that they are one of the most beautifull fish ever when they hover in suspension. I had to use my ice spoon to push 'em back down to clear the hole.
She enjoyed the day as much as I did and is cursing work now that the nice weather's back. Many thanks again for the invite. :tipup: :tipup: :tipup:

Hope to stay a little longer tomorrow. ;D

Nice job Camo, beautiful fish, those crappies were just stacked up waiting for you this morning, Sweet!!! :thumbsup:

Not so this morning, :-\ bruce was hammer'in them when I got there this morning. :P Had a late start, oh well, still managed to muster up a few for dinner tonight. ;D Bruce was nice enough to let everyone just fish where ever. What a great guy. He told me, "Fish where ever you what, I'm competing with the fish just like you." And then I said, I heard you moved over here after fatcrappie and I left, I figured as much. And he said, "You figured, right, thanks for showing me where they were." ;D
See we can all get along on the ice, what great fisherman out there.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/031805Catch1.jpg)
Chainsaw was on the ice too this morning again, the fishies today were hard to get. :-\
One more weekend and trout will be open. ;)
Fish On!
-
Still that's not bad at all. What do you mean by a late start? 9am 11am 12pm ? Better to be late for fishing than not go fishing at all. ;)
Got there about 830-900 this morning and fished til about noon. 8)
MMMMMMM Good!
-
...and a smokin' great day it was too. The sun was out and you could hear the fish bangin' their heads on the ice just tryin' to bust out. Too bad the little dickenses weren't eatin' what I was tryin' to feed 'em. That Bruce is some catcher. I should hit him up for lessons, eh(?), or impose on the Camo-Master,("...ya gotta keep movin'.")
I hung for a few more hours, 'till the beer ran out. Just got in the door,(2:40pm), and the crocker's cookin' Corned Beef dinner. After dinner I'll call all the guys who said they'd go anywhere anytime to fish on any ice, to see what their excuses are this weekend. Camo and Fat Crappie gave me enough bait to start for the weekend, 'till I jig up enough Smelt.
It's always somethin',eh? Job to go to, kids bein' born, can't raise bail, whatever. I gotta start haulin' the twelve foot two by tens and c-clamps to get on over the open water. Good luck to all who are still goin' out. Be carefull out there.
-
Next Thrusday and Friday if I'm going I'll get in touch with ya Chainsaw. What to try your luck for some laker fun, that is if the ice is still around. If not find a little open water some where, only a few more weeks. ;)
Hay, chainsaw, you got a boat, we'll have to drop my canoe in the water one day or two, and hit the feedin frenzy. ;D
Good luck this weekend.
-
Well, I think this was my last trip out on the ice and what a fine day it turned out to be. Started out with snow :o the roads were pretty bad going up this morning to Vet's , got there about 630a and we hit the ice.
I got a 20" laker on the first drop in the hole. No picture, :-\ thought I would get a few more, but not. :P
Red got a little 12" laker on his first drop too, and that was the only laker action.
About 10ish we decided to move to a camo spot and look for some perchys.
And we found a few. ;D
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/032405perch2a.jpg)
I got about 6 keepers and a lot of dinks.
And here is the guys looking for some perchys. 8)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/perchina.jpg)
We all got into a few perch and again fatcrappie, comes over and uses camo's rod and sonar. ;D Fatcrappie couldn't believe the action he got with camo's stuff. ::)
Chainsaw got the most flags and fatcrappie for a few perch on tipups too, but most of them came with the jig poles.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/camofish/icefishing/thecrew1a.jpg)
Here is the crew, from left to right, fatcrappie, chainsaw, BigRed, and Camofish on the end. ;D
The sun came out and what a great day to be on the ice with some great guys. What a way to end the ice season, but there may or may not be one more, but I dought it, :-\ trout season is next week. ;D
Fish On!
-
what a great time guys, nice to meet you fatcrappie and chainsaw!! :thumbsup:
-
I aint had such a good time since the last time. Fishin' with Camo, Fat Crappie, and BigRedonIce, is a traveling experience. More water was covered to find fish than most folks cover in a season, and find fish we did. Trouble was gettin' 'em up on the ice to greet the beautifull day we had. 8)
We tried out the Aqua-View to see what was happenin' down there and all I can say is, "...I want one too." Only thing it needs is a better way to 'Steer' the camera, and stablize it, which I have figgured out, and may sell, or trade for bait n' beer.
Fat Crappie and I stayed in the bay at Vet's Park after Camo and BigRed left and drilled about 60 holes trying to find fish that would bite. We set out tips at top and bottom and got one flag. Fat Crappie was lowering one bait to six feet under the ice when something hit and ripped the bait off. It might have been one of those 'Express' fish I'd been markin' on the Vex. I had something shred the end of one tip line. The bait and the hook were gone and the end of the Yo-Zuri 6# Hybrid line was shredded, but the flag never went off(?). ???
We could get fish to come up and greet our offerings but no big fish and no takers. We left as the sun touched on the Western treetops and the full moon was cresting the East side of the pond. All in all a great day, and I ended up cleanin' a dozen nice Perch. Thanks Guys. I still aint done yet if'n anybody wants to give it one,(or maybe two), more days try, ping me on IM. ;D
-
sounds like you had a nice day...what a motly crew LOL, yep Camo trout season is a comming...can't what for my days off

LOL, i have two things that make that so much easier, a tripod device, and a fin on the camera, both make it SO much easier - i just completely forgot about that stuff yesturday - my mind was just in other places ;)

About 4 months away and this could be a sunrise with ice on the lake insteed of open water. ;D

Broke out the little tubejigs for some gill fishing. ;D

A little more productive than on the ice. ;)
