It was a beautiful day out on lake manitoba stupid me forgot sunscreen and now I'm paying for it.............
(actual picture) My step dad and I got out at about 9 and tried 4 spots with little success then my step-dad says look there's a guy walking outi grab the binos and sure enough it's my bud Grump 8) so I hop on the sled and go and give him a lift to where we were set up a short while after we get there pop a hole for Grump and he starts nailing them our holes are slow and mostly tullibee my step-dad says it's time to move try and convince Grump to come with us but he wanted to stay at that spot so we set off on a way longer venture out west then we expected to have to go to find fish it was past noon and a 20 minute sled ride away before we came across a couple of Rob's buddies and they are on em we set up and nail em for a while caught a nice burbot each mine was 6.4 and rob's was 7.2 lbs I unload the sled and race back to get Grump man we were far took me forever to find him by that time he was almost ready to go but not without his nice pile of perch sorry I didn't come back faster i didn't think we were gone that long I feel bad bud
so i stop for a smoke and say good bye as I had a pail to finish filling back at the other spot .So I race waaaaaaaaaay back to the spot and see my step-dad had another 6.6lb burbot on the ice. We fished for a while longer and ended up with close to 300 perch and 3 burbot and a dozen or so tullibee let alot of small perch go too and a lot of tullibee.Hopefully I'll get out once more before the end of the month if not it would be a great way to end off a great icefishing season 8)
