took a trip up north with my cousin who has been wanting to go for like 5 yrs and it finally happened. had to deal with mother nature a bit but glad we had the trailer to get us out of the elements. great to see ya Jschumacher and the boys. you guys got the hard core award for the weekend and your right about the numbers being down. we got about 30 pike and 1 bowfin between the 2 of us for the 3 days we were there. that storm was the worst storm I have ever experienced and I am glad we had the camper. there was a point were we just let the wind do its thing then picked up in the dark in the wind driven snow. the tip ups we missed where frozen solid into the ice due to the extreme cold so chipping those out took us a few hours. sun the day we were leaving was the best bite day. stayed till 2pm to make up for the slow fishing the days before. he had a great time. here are a few of the quality fish we caught.

nice fish boys. that woulda been too cold for me.
-
Kevin,great job fishing through the weather. You're cousin could pass for Flaggs in that picture.
-
Nice fish Kevin. Can't wait till I can get up there.
-
Great looking fish . We are heading to ticonderoga mar.7 . How much snow was there?
-
ziff my cousin reminds me a lot of flaggs and I want them to meet one day. he could pass as flaggs stunt double in the movies. they both have the same laugh.
-
bottom line the snow was more than I had seen in the 5yrs going there. a lot of people getting stuck but no slush. I stuck to the plowed ice.
-
Nice Kevin!
-
Great work, bud!
-
Ya Buddy great job. Have fun up there this week with the IH crew. Gonna be cold again.
-
Nice pics I was just curious how thick the ice is on Champlain

If the storm you are talking about was Saturday 2/22 we were out in that as well. It was nasty, but, the only time we had to fish so we stuck it out the best we could.

You're going to be the billion mile fisherman soon, but with a fish or two to show for every mile travelled that ain't so bad...

I'd say about 30" on Mississquoi Bay. and 2' at Holiday Harbors

hahaha stick fish to sewer trout. lol I don't keep track of the miles. I travel to the fish I want to target. that is all. ;D
-
And how was the 2nd trip in a week to the big lake ?? I saw the 1 you text me looked sweet.
-
I might have had you beat a few years ago Kevin. I think I fished Cheshire most of the entire season . 😆 That is about 210 miles per day ;D Nice having local ice to fish and travel when its wanted not needed. I'm heading up to VT next year with you guys! Now that I'm sporting the Striker gear 👍
-
Sounds like a great Adventure!
