Those Greedy Northerns

[The Common Man]

I was at Flathorn today and had a good time chasing flags.  Had four up at once...I felt like Benny Hill running around.  I only caught two that were somewhat decent and missed a hog-swine.  I was really bummed because he may have been the 40 incher I have been waiting for.

Anyway, I pulled in a 24" Northern and saw a fish tail in his throat while extracting my hook.  I pulled it out and it was 14" burbot!    I pulled in another one that had fishing line and a leader hanging out of his mouth.  He had a wide gap Gamagatsu with a herring head on it stuck in his throat.  I pulled it all out and kicked him loose.  CSI Flathorn.

Way to go, thanks for the rehab and C&R. Keep up after that big one, we only have til 12 March 10pm CST or 7pm here left in the tourney. Not that the tourney matters much as long as we are having fun fishing.

Did you use a 4 wheeler to get out there, tried a couple of weeks back on the sled and the temp light keeped coming on, no enough snow kicking up for the hyfax, going to try the 4 wheeler in a few days

[The Common Man]

Yep!  I took the wheeler and I had no problems at all.  The snow was pretty wind swept so liquid cooled machines, in my opinion, would continue to struggle.   I was worried about my air cooled sled because of warm temps and pulling the freight sled, but there were a few of those out there.  Of course with the ice road the wheelers work great anyway.

Lucky dog! I am looking forward to this coming weekend can not wit! Trapper lake figure eight or flat horn? Your choice as we are leaving on Saturday flat horn might be better does not matter i just want to drink beer and fish!

[The Common Man]

I would like to get to Trapper Lake if possible.  I have class during the day on Saturday, so Sunday fishing is my only option.  I will give you a call.
