Stop it now oc, the best time of year is coming next Saturday. I love the ice and all but it just doesn't hold a candle to "open water walleye" fishing.
That fish fry looks awesome oc. Soon, very soon the sweet taste of super fresh "sushi-grade" walleye will cross my lips.
My two little boys and myself have one of the portables set up in the basement. They sit in there and pretend to fish. My older son James (4 years old) doesn't like to fish in the boat, he says there is no room to play. I have taken them out in the boat twice this year and all James still talks about is the hardwater. Brent will be two years old before next season, thats plenty old to get him started on the ice. You gotta get them boys away from Mom, and teach them man stuff!
Deepfried walleye is always great, but there is something special about cooking in cast iron over an open flame...
Nice description Chucker....I often sit on my storage shed steps, listening to the Red Sox on the radio, while sipping a cold brew.Below is a picture of my view. I am usually wondering about how many more days until I can get the ice shack out of storage about this time of year.
How did you know it was sunset and not sunrise, Skipper?It was sunset. Parts of Maine remind me of Minnesota.We just don't have Walleyes; some pike, but those are illegal introductions.....
