First fish of the season
« on: Dec 16, 2018, 07:58 AM »
First fish of the 2018/19 ice season. Just hammered the chain pickerel. Iced 50 and lost a dozen or so.  Ran out of minnows after first couple of hours so we hole hoped with  buckshot spoons.Fun day to say the least! 

















Theres only 3 seasons..open water, hunting and icefishing!

Pickerel, you don't eat those do you? If so how do you prepare them? Great job on the pickle fish!!

We eat them they are pretty good thru the ice. We pickle most of them. Delicious on crackers. Deep fried also. Take thr y bones out the same as you would a northern pike

Love seeing kids out on the ice enjoying the great outdoors of staying inside excercising their thumbs.

Grand lake is tidal it switches to designated tidal after Jan 1st. Confirmed this woth DFO. Grand lake is open year round for non sportfish. After jan 1st the icefishing regs take effect until March 31st.
